George Sueño and Ernie Bascom return for their thirteenth outing, which takes them from Seoul to the DMZ in their most politically charged murder case yet.
Limón, who spent half his 20-year army career in Korea, brings that knowledge to his rich characterizations ... This thirteenth novel in the series, however, is darker and angrier any of its predecessors ... Limón offers a shocking backstory concerning the North Korean capture of the USS Pueblo in 1968. One of the most powerful episodes in an always-strong series.
...[a] fine series of military police procedurals ... I have read every Limón book since 1992’s Jade Lady Burning, and I have every intention of continuing to do so; they are that good.
