Jade Lady Burning (1992)
The Korean police should have been responsible for investigating the bizarre killing of Miss Pak. But, her amorous associations with American servicemen in Seoul also made her death US army business, and sergeants Ernie Bascom and George Sueno are on the case.
Slicky Boys (1997)
In the Criminal Investigation Division of the US Army in Korea, George Sueno and Ernie Bascom are pulled into the Slicky Boy culture they barely understand. Checking into every bar to ensure the bourbon is chilled, they are drawn into a murder that could end their careers, or their lives.
Buddha's Money (1998)
When Herman "the German" Burkowicz retires from the Army and earns a living smuggling Korean artifacts, the price is paid by his foster-daughter, who is kidnapped. Ernie Bascom and George Sueno, US army investigators, advise him to pay the ransome - but he doesn't have it.
The Door to Bitterness (2005)
The pair of G.I. cops Martin Limon first introduced in Jade Lady Burning (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year) are back with a vengeance in their latest adventures in Seoul and the sin cities surrounding the capital in the 1970s. North Korea is menacing, Vietnam is burning as these two weave through the back alleys and bordellos, as they try to tip back the scales of justice in the right direction. This time they are not only pursuing criminals, they're chasing themselves in a way, too. Homicidal thieves have gotten hold of Sueno's badge, and are using it to lull their victims just long enough to strike-with his gun. That they are murderous makes it all that much worse for the dynamic duo. The army wants its equipment accounted for, the I.D. and weapon recovered. George and Ernie want to recover their reputation and catch the culprits.
우리나라를 무대로 전직 한국주둔 미군이었던 작가가 쓴 추리소설 시리즈라고 한다. 처음 보는 작품들이고 작가다. 우리가 왜 몰랐을까. 이거 출판되면 안되는 뭔가가 있을까, 아님 그냥 싫을까. 그래도 이들이 우리를 어떻게 그리고 있는지는 알아야 하지 않을까 싶은데... 좋든 싫든 말이다.
