Three American GIs have gone missing in different South Korean cities. 8th Army CID agents George Sueño and Ernie Bascom find one thread connecting the disappearances: a beautiful woman locally rumored to be a gumiho, an ancient legendary creature in disguise.

He soon realizes he may have to risk his own life to track down his fellow countrymen.
Media
“Action-filled.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“What a great gift any of Limón's six mysteries starring Army Sgts. George Sueño and Ernie Bascom would make for those mystery lovers who haven't yet discovered them! . . . Imbued with affecting characters, a morally knotty storyline, and a last chapter that just plain stuns.”
—Maureen Corrigan, NPR.org
“Clever plotting and superior characterizations lift this suspenseful, atmospheric installment.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“As always, Limón brews a fine mix of Cold War world affairs, army life, and Korean society and culture.”
—Booklist
“The Nine-Tailed Fox is a fast paced, action-packed yarn that will keep you glued to your seat from the first page to the last.”
—San Antonio Express-News
“Fast moving and entertaining. . . another solid reading experience.”
