Sheamus Rissler is a security officer for the U. S. Embassy in Kyrgystan at the capital city, Bishkek. He's assigned to find a missing bride of an American soldier.The soldier had married a Kyrgyzs girl, them been killed in action. When the body was scheduled to be flown out, accompanied by the bride, with the dead man's family awaiting both in the States, the young bride had not showed for the flight.The dead soldier's family was angry and wanted answers and Sheamus was the one told to get them.At the same time, a private citizen, American, has been kidnapped. He has to be found. He is and later proves to be an embarrassment as he wants young women and his meds don't mix with Viagra, so his lunatic ravings are being pushed by politicians.You see, all this plays out with elections backing the story and all sorts of tricks are being played to win the day. Depending on which side one lay.An interesting look at a culture completely different from our own. I'd heard of bride kidnapping before, but didn't know a lot.A good thriller novel. I only had one problem with it. The title and cover gives one the idea of a humor tale, nothing wrong with that on my part, but it's not funny at all. I might take half a star from it for that reason alone.Otherwise a good book.
