Two foreigners-waeguk-from Minnesota; Ben, coming to terms with his homosexuality; Durst, dreaming of himself as a James Dean tough guy. They teach English-as-a-second language at a private school in Seoul. The school is also the front for a drug-smuggling gang headed by its owner, Mr. Kim. Ben and Durst are drawn into the illicit trade-for the excitement and the money. When some on-the-run farmers from the North show up, followed by some less savory characters, a simple smuggling operation turns a lot more dangerous. A unique new voice in crime, Mark Rapacz takes you on an unputdownable odyssey deep into this violent Korean underworld where nothing is quite what it seems and life is as ephemeral as a knife blade glinting under neon lights. 650 0 $a Noir fiction, American. 650 0 $a Suspense fiction. 651 1 $a Seoul (Korea) 651 1 $a Korea (South) 651 1 $a Korea (North) 655 0 $a Noir fiction. 880 31 $6 246-00/$1 $a ì¸êµ 941 $a 1 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728020352.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9CE462C76EF11E5AEA3E6B6DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b DIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
