Inspector O returns from a mission abroad to find his new police commander waiting at his office door. There has been a bank robbery – the first ever in Pyongyang – and the commander wants action.
O must start investigating – and immediately – as various ministries demand action. Except, as usual, nothing is ever as it seems in North Korea. Before long, O has met a beautiful bank manager, a sharp club owner and the mysterious man in the brown hat, and they all have agendas – none of which involve O solving this robbery. But solve it he must, before the wrong ministry comes into power, and O is held accountable.
Like Philip Kerr's Berlin Noir trilogy and the Inspector Arkady Renko novels, Hidden Moon once again presents an unfamiliar world, a perplexing universe seemingly so alien that the rules are an enigma to the reader and even, sometimes, Inspector O.
