The investigative team of George Sueno and Ernie Bascom is dispatched from 8th Army headquarters in Seoul to help the 2nd Infantry Division locate her. Speculation is that attractive Jill Matthewson has been raped and killed, and Division suggests a lust-crazed Korean is the culprit. But there are other possibilities, as Sueno and Bascom soon discover. The murder of another soldier has been concealed. They are confronted, as well, by rampant black marketeering and corruption, crooked officers, rioting Korean civilians, and the wandering ghost of a schoolgirl run down by a speeding army truck. They must risk their lives and careers to right egregious wrongs and save a lost soul. ‘Martin Limon does what the best storytellers do; take you away to & brand new world. The Wandering Ghost is that world, a fully engrossing story that pins you to your seat until the last page is turned.' - Michael Connelly. Martin Limon has written numerous short stories starring his army police duo as well as four novels. THE WANDERING GHOST is the fifth in the Sueno and Bascom series which includes JADE LADY BURNING, a New York Times Notable Book, SLICKY BOYS, BUDDHA'S MONEY and THE DOOR TO BITTERNESS.
