Synopsis

US Army CID agents George Sueno and Ernie Bascom become entangled with a push tabloid reporter as they investigate a series of violent bank robberies throughout South Korea. South Korea, 1970s: A rash of armed robberies at local Korean banks doesn't concern the American military-until a fatality occurs, and proof surfaces that US soldiers are behind the crimes. The case has been assigned to CID Agents Jake Burrows and Felix Slabem, but they certainly won't do anything that might make 8th United States Army look bad. So Sergeants George Sueno and Ernie Bascom have decided to step in and investigate the robberies-and murder-themselves. George and Ernie have their own problems to worry about, namely one Katie Byrd Worthington, a pesky reporter for the Overseas Observer-an unsanctioned English-language tabloid that has found strong roots in South Korea. Katie has published a story that implicates Army higher-ups in both sex trafficking and treason, and the pressure is on for the CID to disprove her claims. But what if they aren't false? As George and Ernie dig deeper into the case, they find themselves the targets of a very unflattering publicity campaign, but perhaps also something much more dangerous.

American soldiers are robbing banks, and some high level Korean officers are being accused of human trafficking. (Did they call it human trafficking in the 70's?) Sueno and Bascom try to find out the truth, even though everybody else wants to cover it up. A bit repetitive.......more

“GI Confidential” by Martin Limón is set in South Korea in the tumultuous early seventies and offers an inside look at life in the real Korea of the time.

Goodreads review by Zeb on August 29, 2019

This is the fourteenth novel in this series about two military detectives involved in Korea during the 1950s. You would think that by this time Limon would just be walking through the stories. But this isn't true, Limon spends a lot of time, especially in his later books, talking about the problems......more
