[Sergeants Sueño and Bascom 05] • The Wandering Ghost

Praise for Martin Limón:

“It’s great to have these two mavericks back. . . . Mr. Limón writes with . . . wonderful, bleak humor, edged in pain, about GI life.”—*The New York Times Book Review*

“Limón’s crisp, clear storytelling opens a door to another world and leaves one hoping the next installment won’t be so long in arriving.”—*The Baltimore Sun*

“Limón has the military lingo and ambience down to a T. Plot, pacing, and plausibility are just about perfect.”—*The Philadelphia Inquirer* (editor’s choice)

“As usual, Limón paints a picture of Korea in the mid-1970s that is so detailed and richly atmospheric that the reader’s senses are flooded with the sounds, smells, and tastes of the place. Fans of the Sueño-Bascom series, who have been waiting eagerly for a new novel, can relax. It was well worth the wait.”—*Booklist* (starred review)

The only female MP assigned to a base in the DMZ is missing. Has she been abducted, killed, or, possibly, gone AWOL? Eighth Army cops George Sueño and Ernie Bascom, sent to find her, discover a murder that has been concealed, rampant black marketeering and corruption, crooked officers, rioting Korean civilians, and the wandering ghost of a schoolgirl run down by a speeding army truck. It is up to them to right egregious wrongs while being pursued by criminals who want to kill them.

**Martin Limón** is the author of four earlier books in the Sueño-Bascom series. His debut, *Jade Lady Burning*, was a *New York Times* Notable Book.
