Jade lady burning - Martin Limn

Almost 20 years after the end of the Korean War, the U.S. Military is still present throughout South Korea and tensions run high.

When Pak Ok-Suk, a young Korean woman, is found brutally murdered in a torched apartment in the Itaewon red-light district of Seoul, it looks like it might be the work of her American soldier boyfriend. Sergeants George Sueno and Ernie Bascom, Military Police for the U.S. Army, have only a vague link to a prostitute as a lead.
