“Limón engages readers by blending Korean history, lore and geography with a tightly developed plot. “Often praised for his knowledge of Korean society and culture and the massive footprint of the US Army on Korea, Limón has an outstanding series going, and this one may be the best installment yet.” This police procedural, with its unusual locale, admirable protagonists, and well-developed plot, stands as a superior entry in a consistently impressive series.” He drops you onto the bar stool and hands you a glass.”
He doesn’t just describe the clamor and sweat inside an ex-pat bar crowded with GIs. “Limón has a profound ability to depict everyday South Korean civilian life in a police state. Imbued with affecting characters, a morally knotty storyline, and a last chapter that just plain stuns.” George Sueño and Ernie Bascom would make for those mystery lovers who haven’t yet discovered them!.
“What a great gift any of Limón’s six mysteries starring Army Sgts. if you love a fast-paced, humorous crime novel, don’t miss it.” “A fast-paced, enjoyable story that is fun and easy to read. “ The Nine-Tailed Fox is a fast paced, action-packed yarn that will keep you glued to your seat from the first page to the last. “As always, Limón brews a fine mix of Cold War world affairs, army life, and Korean society and culture.” ”Clever plotting and superior characterizations lift this suspenseful, atmospheric installment.” ”Limón provides a highly enjoyable, multi-layered, dynamic tale-a nifty crime novel full of striking images of a bygone time in Korean history.” Army man who served 10 years in Korea, writes with knowledge of the travails and rewards of military life.”
“An enduring and freshly relevant series by Martin Limón.
