Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The latest dystopian thriller from the two-time winner of the "Arthur C Clarke" award. A body is found in the city of Beszel and seems like a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlu. However, events quickly escalate and it becomes clear that something stranger and far more dangerous is afoot. Mieville's previous novel "Peridido Street Station" has sold over 35,000 copies to date.

Publisher's description:

When the body of a murdered woman is found in the extraordinary, decaying city of Bes el, 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.
