A Corpse in the Koryo (Inspector O, Bk 1)

Really interesting first novel in a series about a police inspector in North Korea. The author is a pseudonym for a former intelligence officer with many years of service. Very much in the vein of the Arkady Renko novels of Martin Cruz Smith.
A strong sense of place is present here and anyone who enjoys the armchair traveler part of good detective noir fiction should put this on their list.
