20 years ago, Martin Limon published his first story featuring Sergeant George Sueno, a Mexican-American army detective stationed on the US 8th Army base in South Korea in the early '70s during the Cold War. George and his investigating partner, the rowdy and short-fused Sgt. Ernie Bascom, come into conflict with Korean law enforcement on their cases. Sueno's job might partially be to solve crimes, but more importantly he must cover top brass' backside and make sure the US doesn't look bad. This collection combines short stories featuring the Sergeants in action.
