Chris's Reviews > Jade Lady Burning

3.5 stars. Set in the 1970's in South Korea outside an U.S. Army base. CID Sgts Sueno & Bascom begin investigating a horrific murder of a South Korean prostitute when her GI boyfriend is charged with her murder. A gritty crime novel that reveals the seamier side of life near the base; bars, prostitution, & black-market activities along with the corruption that surrounds the Korean businesses who seek contracts with the U.S. government. Limon brings the area and people to life. No one is all good or bad, some interesting reveals that make you question your own biases and/or stereotypes.
