The City & The City - Thryft

Unique city boundaries blur reality.

"The City & The City" challenges perceptions of reality and identity with its imaginative portrayal of two intertwined cities. Fans of surreal, mind-bending mysteries will be drawn to China Mieville's combination of crime fiction and speculative fiction. The book's most distinctive feature is its exploration of perception and how it can shape reality.

Description

From the backcover:"When the body of a murdered woman is found in the extraordinary, decaying city of Beszal, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks like a routine case for Inspector Borlu of the Extreme Crime Squad. But as he probes, the evidence begins to point 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."
