Limon, Martin Buddha's Money
Bantam May 4, 1998 0-553-10444-6 / 9780553104448 Hardcover F/F
A highly collectible first edition/printing, tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. Both Jade Lady Burning and Slicky Boys were praised for their blending of t he noir thriller with the police procedural.

He'll need the sacred money as he and George pu rsue the kidknappers of Mi-ja, the adopted daughter of ex-infantry sergeant , Herman the German. What Herman, Ernie, and George soon discover is that M i-ja is only the grisly negotiating tool of a man who believes himself the reincarnation of an ancient conqueror.

In particular, Limón holds a powerful magnet to George Sueno's moral compass, and the consistency in George's voice, as twisted as it is, invites the reader into a world that is teeming with desparate "business gir
