Door to Bitterness - Hardcover

The incorrigible pair of G.I. cops - first introduced in Jade Lady Burning - is back with a vengeance. Their beat is Seoul and the sin cities surrounding the Korean capital in the 1970s. While Vietnam burns and North Korea menaces, they police the back alleys and bordellos, protecting American soldiers from themselves and the natives with criminal intent.
This time around, however, they are not only pursuing crooks, they're chasing themselves. Homicidal thieves have made off with Sgt. Sueno's badge, and are using it to lull their victims just long enough to strike ... with his gun. That the robbers are cold-blooded murderers makes it all the more imperative to get the army's missing equipment and recover their reputation. Not getting killed themselves would also be good.

Martin Limón retired from U.S. military service after 20 years in the U.S. Army, including a total of ten years in Korea. He and his wife live in Seattle. He is the author of Jade Lady Burning, Slicky Boys, and Buddha's Money, which will be published in the Soho Crime series this year.
