The Iron Sickle

By Martin Limón

Book Overview

Early one rainy morning, the head of the 8th United States Army Claims Office in Seoul, South Korea, is brutally murdered by a Korean man in a trench coat carrying a small iron sickle hidden in his sleeve. The attack was a complete surprise, carefully planned and clinically executed. Against orders, CID agents Sergeant George Sueno and Ernie Bascom start investigating. Somehow, each person they speak to has not yet been interviewed. The 8th Army isn't great at solving cases, but they aren't that bad either. As the search continues, they realise not everyone wants the case solved.

Customer Reviews

Another favorite book from my two favorite detectives.

This is the 10th book in the series, and has become one of my favorites. Another murder in the American Eighth Army forces in Soul Korea. He is murdered along with others along the way by a man with a sickle. Is the murderer an American, or a Korean national? Neither side want to try very hard to catch the murderer because it is bad publicity for either side. When my 2 favorite detectives look into the case, they discover that nearly everyone they interview has even been questioned. They soon start to think that no one wants this case solved. As they proceed, they get into their usual amount of trouble. A fun read to me because I was stationed in that exact area at the same time this story takes place. I can hardly wait to start the next book, "The Ville Rat".
