Synopsis
The bizarre killing of Miss Pak should have belonged to the Korean police. But her amorous associations with American servicemen in Seoul also made her death the business of the US Army, and the case of sergeants Ernie Bascom and George Sueno. At first Bascom and Sueno aren't interested in finding out the truth, just putting a stop to the bad press is their aim, whilst also entertaining themselves trawling through the downtown red light district. But there's something about the Korean cops' nervousness, and the savage nature of the crime that starts to get to them, pulling them down deeper into a dark mesh of military and government corruption. In their line, though, getting involved with the victim isn't smart, because you increase tremendously the odds of becoming one.

An extraordinary book (Washington Times)
Compassionately written, searing in its intensity. Without ever trying to be 'literary', this novel achieves the stature of literature (New York Times)
