Publisher Description
Tasked with covering up a tabloid report about high-ranking officers, US Army CID Agents George Sueño and Ernie Bascom discover a dark web of systemic issues that have potentially fatal consequences.
South Korea, 1970s: Sergeant First Class Cecil B. Harvey, a senior NCO in charge of 8th Army’s classified documents, has long been a friend (willing or unwilling) to Sergeants George Sueño and Ernie Bascom. So when he goes missing with a top-secret document that even a glance at could get an officer court-martialed, Sueño and Bascom take it upon themselves to find him.
Meanwhile, Overseas Observer reporter Katie Byrd Worthington is back to make life difficult for top Army brass. When she lands in a Korean jail cell, Sueño and Bascom are sent to get her out—and negotiate against the publication of an incriminating story about the mistreatment of women in the military that could land important officials in hot water.

“[Limón tell[s] his story with his trademark comic tone. His prose is loose and relaxed, and the action reels across the page like a barrel full of monkeys rolling down a hill…Despite his light-hearted approach, Limón treats the story of the beleaguered war women with the seriousness it deserves.”
— New York Journal of Books

— Korean Times -
“War Women is the most sobering Sueño and Bascom mystery to date, but it’s still a book that readers will want to devour in one sitting.'“
