About this book
A detective in the fictional Eastern European city of Besźel investigates the murder of a young woman whose death may connect two cities occupying the same geographic space. Their citizens are trained from childhood to ignore one another, even when they pass within inches, and crossing the invisible boundary between them is treated as an almost unimaginable crime. As the investigation deepens, political history, forbidden knowledge, and institutional power complicate the case. Miéville builds a strange, disciplined premise around a recognizable detective story, creating a cerebral noir about perception, borders, and the realities societies agree not to see.
