Death in the DMZ

1976. The Korean Demilitarised Zone. The most dangerous border on Earth just became a crime scene.

When a hideously mutilated body is discovered in the tall grass of the No-Man’s-Land, the fragile peace between North and South threatens to shatter. The victim is unidentifiable, the wounds are ritualistic, and the location is a political powder keg.

Detective Park, a weary veteran from the South with a penchant for cheap cigarettes and forbidden questions, is forced into an uneasy alliance with Senior Investigator Ri from the North—a man who serves a regime that doesn't believe in "accidents."

As the winter fog rolls over the minefields, the two detectives must navigate a labyrinth of military cover-ups, Cold War espionage, and a killer who moves like a ghost through the barbed wire. In a place where a single stray bullet could ignite a world war, Park and Ri soon realise that the greatest threat isn't the army across the line—it’s the truth buried beneath it.

A gripping, atmospheric noir thriller from UENK PulpWorks. Raw, cinematic, and steeped in the tension of a divided nation.
