Description
<b>"An eye-opening genre-buster. The names of Kafka and Orwell tend to be invoked too easily for anything a bit out of the ordinary, but in this case they are worthy comparisons." <i>The Times</i>, London </b> When the body of a murdered woman is found in the extraordinary, decaying city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks like a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlu of the Extreme Crime Squad. But as he probes, the evidence begins to point to conspiracies far stranger, and more deadly, than anything he could have imagined. Soon his work puts him and those he cares for in danger. Borlu must travel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own, across a border like no other. With shades of Kafka and Philip K Dick, Raymond Chandler and <b><i>1984</i></b>, <b><i>The City & The City</i></b> is a murder mystery taken to dazzling metaphysical and artistic heights. <b>MORE PRAISE FOR <i>THE CITY & THE CITY</i></b> "If Philip K. Dick and Raymond Chandler's love child were raised by Franz Kafka, the writing that emerged might resemble China Mieville's ... <i>The City & the City</i>." <i>Los Angeles Times</i> "An excellent police procedural and a fascinating urban fantasy, this is essential reading for all mystery and fantasy fans." <i>Booklist</i> "This spectacularly, intricately paranoid yarn is worth the effort." <i>Kirkus</i>
