Having read mysteries for 30 years I quickly get bored with most of the genre these days and now find myself searching the mystery bookshelves for foreign translations and those not "fitting the mold." Finding Gus Lee's Tiger's Tail has been a delightful venture into Korea's mountainous DMZ and a very strange world of misfits, sadists, and good guys. Lee bounced from the present to his past in a single line that sometimes sent me backtracking and rereading to catch the wit of his metaphors, but I found that delightful as the writing was not the "same old thing." It all seemed pretty horrible and his characters were definitely bigger than life with steroids. Jackson Kan found his buddy and I still had a 100 pages to go as his "mission" kept expanding. I found both the mystery of the Tiger's Tail and the succinct humorous phraseology a really good read that was different than all the others.
