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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Del Rey","offers":[{"title":"The City \u0026 The City | China Miéville | Paperback | 9780345497529 | New | Sci-Fi \u0026 Fantasy 1785401","offer_id":67815934296216,"sku":"1785401","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/A1x9diftV_L.jpg?v=1793045160","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-city-the-city","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
