500 "Soho crime."
520 "Viet Nam, 1963. A female Viet Cong assassin is trawling
the boulevards of Saigon, catching US Army officers off-
guard with a single pistol shot, then riding off on the
back of a scooter. Although the US military is not
officially in combat, sixteen thousand American servicemen
are stationed in Viet Nam "advising" the military and
government. Among them are Ellsworth Miser and Clovis
Robeson, two army investigators who have been tasked with
tracking down the daring killer. Set in the besieged
capital of a new nation on the eve of the coup that would
bring down the Diem regime and launch the Americans into
the Viet Nam War, Play the Red Queen is Juris Jurjevics's
capstone contribution to a lifelong literary legacy: a
tour-de-force mystery-cum-social history, breathtakingly
atmospheric and heartbreakingly alive with the laws and
lawlessness of war"--|cProvided by publisher.
