Buddha's Money by Martin Limón

4.0

I really enjoyed this one, the third in the series. It's unbelievable but at the same time a page turner. Our two CID agents,Bascom and Sueno, are involved in a life and death race against time to find a jade skull and deliver it to some violent Buddhist kidnappers of a young Korean girl. It's like Indiana Jones meets a Christopher Moore book at times. It's flip, funny, and suspenseful with violence and evil thrown in. We escape Seoul to Suwon, Taejon, and some off shore islands. There are the usual drinking binges, assortment of bar girls, and Sueno meets perhaps the love of his life, all with a Korean student demonstration thrown in. Don't know how Limon will top this one with book four but I'm ready for the next one.
