The Iron Sickle

Early one rainy morning, an officer at the head of the 8th United States Army Claims Office is brutally murdered by a man carrying a small iron sickle. His secretary is the sole witness to the incident, but she did not see who the man was.

CID agents Ernie Bascom and George Sueño are eager to start investigating. But instead, they are assigned black market duty, a strange choice given their knack for solving cases and working knowledge of the Korean language. Naturally, they can't help themselves, and they begin to poke around, searching for witnesses and motives. Somehow, each person they speak to has not yet been interviewed. The 8th Army isn't great at solving cases, but they aren't that bad either. As George and Ernie continue their search, they begin to suspect that not everyone wants the case solved.
