Items related to G.I. Bones
A Korean fortune teller is being "bothered" by a long dead American soldier who wants his bones found and buried. An underage officer's daughter and a Latino soldier she was secretly dating are missing. Several of the most notorious of the Korean gangsters who own bars in Itaewon - Seoul's red light district - have been killed.
Sergeants George Sueno and Ernie Bascom, Military Intelligence MPs, must go back to the founding of Itaewon - "the ville" - in order to find out who the dead soldier was and where his body has been hidden, as well as who murdered him and why. In the course of this investigation, they discover a connection to the ganglord killings and the killers' motive, and to the case of the missing girl.

Review:
Praise for G.I. Bones
An NPR Best Book of the Year "The latest in the series, G.I. Bones, is brilliant--imbued with affecting characters, a morally knotty storyline, and a last chapter that just plain stuns."
--Maureen Corrigan, NPR.org "Nobody navigates the barely controlled chaos of Seoul's red light district like these two--or the byzantine ways of Army bureaucracy, for that matter. Limón's empathy for Korean culture, meanwhile, makes him an excellent guide."
--The Seattle Times "If you've never encountered Limón in your literary travels, [G.I. Bones] is a good place to begin your journey."
--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Praise for the George Sueño and Ernie Bascom series "Combining the grim routine of a modern police procedural with the cliff-hanging action of a thriller movie."
--The Wall Street Journal
"Altogether engaging."
--The Washington Post Book World "It's great to have these two mavericks back."
--The New York Times Book Review "Setting the standard for military crime fiction, Limón's compelling stories of murder, greed, and abuse of power are set off by the Korean culture and 1970s atmosphere."
--Library Journal, Starred Review
"Throughout this critically acclaimed series, Limón has displayed a remarkable talent for weaving his background knowledge of the country into his plots."
--Booklist "Easily the best military mysteries in print today."
--Lee Child "Martin Limón does what the best storytellers do: take you away to a brand new world."
--Michael Connelly
