On the surface, A Corpse in the Koryo is a crackling good mystery novel, filled with unusual characters involved in a complex plot that keeps you guessing to the end."-Glenn Kessler, The Washington Post One of Publishers Weekly Top 100 Books of 2006One of Booklist's Best Genre Fiction of 2006One of the Chicago Tribune's best mystery/thrillers of 2006Sit on a quiet hillside at dawn among the wildflowers; take a picture of a car coming up a deserted highway from the south. Simple orders for Inspector O, until he realizes they have led him far, far off his department's turf and into a maelstrom of betrayal and death. North Korea's leaders are desperate to hunt down and eliminate anyone who knows too much about a series of decade's-old kidnappings and murders-and Inspector O discovers too late he has been sent into the chaos. This is a world where nothing works as it should, where the crimes of the past haunt the present, and where even the shadows are real. Author James Church weaves a story with beautifully spare prose and layered descriptions of a country and a people he knows by heart after decades as an intelligence officer. ". . . an outstanding crime novel. . . . a not-to-be-missed reading experience. " -Library Journal (starred)"Inspector O is completely believable and sympathetic . . . The writing is superb, too . . . richly layered and visually evocative."-Booklist (starred)". . . an impressive debut that calls to mind such mystery thrillers as Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park. . . ." -Publishers Weekly (starred) | A Corpse in the Koryo by James Church, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
