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. In Martin Limón's third tale o f George Sueno and his army CID partner, Ernie Bascom, the two are enmeshed in the dark and light sides of Buddhism as they again exercise their polic e skills in a thriller's world. When they come to the aid of a Buddhist nun who is being attacked by what appears to be a GI, Ernie finds himself the keeper of "Buddha's money." 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. This madman is in relentless pursuit of a jade skull supposed to be the key to the future of the Pacific Rim. A trade--the skull for the girl--seems like the easy solution. But Lady Ahn, the proclaimed heir to the Dragon Throne of China, is not about to give it up. While this mosaic of Buddhist cults and supernatural relics sounds like the stuff of a 1940s radio drama, it is grounded and modernized in Martin Limón's fascination with his two main characters. 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

LIMON, MARTIN Slicky Boys
Bantam April 1, 1998 0-553-57609-7 / 9780553576092 Paperback Near Fine
This thriller by a retired army officer has many things going for it: two v ery well-drawn central characters who are U.S. military police based in Seo ul; a large cast of colorful secondary characters; some lively and inventiv e plot twists; and a setting--South Korea in 1975, 20 years after the Korea n War--quickly brought to vivid life. George Sueno, the brains of the two-m an Army CID team, grew up in foster homes in East Los Angeles, learned Kore an quickly, and isn't nearly as baffled by the complexity of Korean customs as most of his fellow soldiers. His partner, Ernie Bascom, found a home in the Army better than the one he'd left in Detroit to go to Vietnam; he's a blaze of mad action and sexual energy. They make an excellent team, bringi ng back memories of Chester Himes's Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnso n--two cops who also bent the rules to get results.
