About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. In an impressive debut that calls to mind such
mystery thrillers as Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park, the pseudonymous
Church, a former intelligence officer, provides a rare look into one of
the world's most closed societies, North Korea. When Inspector O, a
state security officer, is called on the carpet for botching a sensitive
surveillance assignment, O soon realizes that competing forces in the
military and intelligence hierarchies set him up to fail and that his
personal and professional well-being depend on his walking a tightrope.
The detective's pragmatic if unwavering commitment to the ideals of
pursuing justice in the face of serious obstacles makes him a heroic
figure who's well suited to carry future entries in what one hopes will
be a long-lived series. Despite the exotic setting, Hammett and Chandler
would have had no problem appreciating this hard-boiled narrative.
