商品描述：
Against the backdrop of a totalitarian North Korea， one man unwillingly uncovers the truth behind series of murders， and wagers his life in the process.Sit on a quiet hillside at dawn among the wildflowers; take a picture of a car coming up a deserted highway from the south. Simple orders for Inspector O， until he realizes they have led him far， far off his department's turf and into a maelstrom of betrayal and death. North Korea's leaders are desperate to hunt down and eliminate anyone who knows too much about a series of decades-old kidnappings and murders---and Inspector O discovers too late he has been sent into the chaos.This is a world where nothing works as it should， where the crimes of the past haunt the present， and where even the shadows are real. A corpse in Pyongyang's main hotel---the Koryo---pulls Inspector O into a confrontation of bad choices between the devils he knows and those he doesn't want to meet. A blue button on the floor of a hotel closet， an ice blue Finnish lake， and desperate efforts by the North Korean leadership set Inspector O on a journey to the edge of a reality he almost can't survive.Like Philip Kerr's Berlin Noir trilogy and the Inspector Arkady Renko novels， A Corpse in the Koryo introduces another unfamiliar world， a perplexing universe seemingly so alien that the rules are an enigma to the reader and even， sometimes， to Inspector O. Author James Church weaves a story with beautifully spare prose and layered descriptions of a country and a people he knows by heart after decades as an intelligence officer. This is a chilling portrayal that， in the end， leaves us wondering if what at first seemed unknowable may simply be too familiar for comfort.
