A very unusual book that I couldn't work out at once. I couldn't work out whether I was reading a crime fiction novel or a science fiction novel, and concluded that it was both. A very clever idea revolving around two cities that exist side by side, but a citizen of one city has to 'unsee' the other even if the other city is on the same street. The story revolves around a police detective who has to solve a murder, the body appeared in his city but the crime took place in the other city. A very interesting concept, although I took a long while to get the hang of the novel, but once I did, I was hooked and finished the book quite quickly as I couldn't put it down. Will have to attempt another Mieville again at some other point.
