A Corpse in the Koryo (Inspector O Mysteries)

"Sit 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.
