About this product
Product Information
The dazzling follow-up to Toby Ball's acclaimed period thriller, The Vaults, takes us back to his dystopian City, fifteen years later... Journalist Frank Frings rouses Lieutenant Piet Westermann in the middle of the night with an unusual request: move the body of a dead blonde from where she was found on the bank of a river near the utopian Uhuru Community, a Negro shantytown under threat from a deadly coalition of racists and anti-communists - and find out how the body actually got there. As the investigation deepens, complicated by a string of possibly related deaths and disappearances, and ever-more-heated racial, religious and political factors come to bear, Westermann's rationalist worldview is challenged by the ecstatic religious experiences he encounters in the Community, led by the charismatic Father Wome. All the while, Frank Frings works to stay ahead of a more venal journalist competitor to salvage the Uhuru Community's reputation before its enemies can achieve its final destruction.

Reviews
"Impressive... Ball's "City," in which despair and graft are almost palpable, is an imaginative achievement on a par with Loren Estleman's Gas City." -- Publisher's Weekly , starred review " Cleverly couching contemporary themes - big business's corrupt intervention in government, the threat to individual identity, and the distortion of information during technological "updates" - in spooky, lush historical trappings, this convincing novel will heighten readers' senses, engage their minds, and satisfy their craving for exciting stories." -- Library Journal , starred review "A moody and atmospheric book this was a distinctive book and lingered well after the reading was done." -- Crimespree
