Description

Winner of the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel, the Arthur C. Clarke Award, a World Fantasy award, and a BSFA Award

Blending weird fiction with the police procedural, The City & The City is an existential thriller like no other.

'There is no one else writing stuff like this.' Dazed

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 1984, the multi-award-winning The City & The City by China Mieville is a murder mystery taken to dazzling metaphysical and artistic heights.

'As intelligent as he is original' - The Guardian

Reviews
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 * The Times *
There is no one else writing stuff like this * Dazed *
As intelligent as he is original * The Guardian *
Audacious, original and haunting * Daily Mail *
Daring and disturbing -- Walter Mosley, author of the bestselling Easy Rawlins Mysteries series

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
