THE CITY & THE CITY by China Mieville
These two starred reviews say it all.
From Publishers Weekly:
“Better known for New Weird fantasies (Perdido Street Station, etc.), bestseller Miéville offers an outstanding take on police procedurals with this barely speculative novel… Through this exaggerated metaphor of segregation, Miéville skillfully examines the illusions people embrace to preserve their preferred social realities.”
From Booklist:
“An excellent police procedural and a fascinating urban fantasy, this is essential reading for all mystery and fantasy fans.”
