Description
In a city where words come to life and reality is infected by stories, private eye John Nyquist wakes up in a room with a dead body... The dead man's impossible whispers plunge him into a murder investigation like no other. Clues point him deeper into an unfolding story infesting its participants as reality blurs between place and genre. Only one man can hope to put it all together, enough that lives can be saved... That man is Nyquist, and he is lost.

Reviews / Votes
"This superb novel of light, glass and blood proves again that Jeff Noon is one of our few true visionaries." "It's a heady psychedelic mix, packed with literary allusions, which brilliantly explores notions of self-identity, personal awareness and how we fit into our own stories." "A heady, clever, immersive read."More details
