Science Fiction Alternate History
When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel,
somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine
case for Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad.
To investigate, Borlú must travel from the decaying Beszel
to its equal, rival, and intimate neighbor, the vibrant city
of Ul Qoma. But this is a border crossing like no other, a
journey as psychic as it is physical, a seeing of the
unseen. With Ul Qoman detective Qussim Dhatt, Borlú is
enmeshed in a sordid underworld of nationalists intent on
destroying their neighboring city, and unificationists who
dream of dissolving the two into one. As the detectives
uncover the dead woman’s secrets, they begin to suspect a
truth that could cost them more than their lives. What
stands against them are murderous powers in Beszel and in Ul
Qoma: and, most terrifying of all, that which lies between
these two cities.
