Joy Brigade
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Seoul, early 1970s: US Army Sergeant George Sueño is on a mission of extreme importance to the South Korean government, as well as the US Army. Kim Il-Sung has vowed to reunite North and South Korea into one country before he hands control of the government over to his son, which means North Korea is planning to cross the DMZ and overpower the American-allied South Korean government. Sueño's mission is to prevent this by sneaking into North Korea and obtaining an ancient map detailing the network of secret tunnels that run underneath the DMZ. To do so, he will have to go undercover and infiltrate the North Korean Communist inner sanctum.
Aware of the often dubious nature of the US Military's tactics, Sueño is skeptical about his assignment. But he has other things on his mind. The keeper of the map is Doc Yong, a former lover of Sueño's who was forced to flee South Korea the year before—and she has a son. Before they can be happily reunited, the plan falls to pieces, and Sueño is captured. Can he rely on the enigmatic Hero Kang, his sole contact in the hostile country? Will the lovely Rhee Mi-Sook, the leader of the North Korean secret police, be too much to handle? And who are the mysterious group of women known as the Joy Brigade?

Fans of James Church’s Inspector O novels will enjoy Limón’s eighth cold war historical featuring Sgt. George Sueño, an agent for the Eighth U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division in Seoul, South Korea (after 2011’s Mr. Kill). In 1972, a covert mission “to avoid another war between North and South Korea” takes Sueño, posing as a cargo handler, into North Korea. There the sergeant must get his hands on a 15th-century manuscript describing a court official’s pursuit of a “wild man,” possibly a beast of some sort, who took refuge in caves below the present-day demilitarized zone. This manuscript could provide detailed information about tunnels beneath the DMZ that would help the American army counter North Korean infiltration of the South. Limón keeps things moving, and the intrigue, twists, and betrayals will be both familiar and welcome to fans of classic spy fiction in the le Carré tradition. Agent: Jill Marsal, Marsal Lyons Literary.
