Nightmare Range: The Collected Sueno and Bascom Short Stories by Martin Limón
5.0
Short stories are probably the best format for the Sueno and Bascom series. I love this series because of the character study and the setting. Unfortunately Limon is only average when it comes to writing a good police procedural. But I just love the characters and the 1970's Korean setting so much. If you are a fan of Korea and police procedurals, you must try this series.
There are a lot of short stories in this series. Only a few of them are good as police stories, some of the others don't even have much of a point. And some of them seem to use materials from other of his full length books, recycling names and events but largely different, so they are somewhat confusing.
I give this book 5 stars because I think the short format works well and each story is fast and ends quickly. Please write more shorts!
