SynopsisSt. Louis, Missouri, is a quietly dying river city until it hires a new police chief: a charismatic young woman from Bombay, India, named S. Jammu. No sooner has Jammu been installed, though, than the city's leading citizens become embroiled in an all-pervasive political conspiracy. A classic of contemporary fiction, The Twenty-Seventh City shows us an ordinary metropolis turned inside out, and the American Dream unraveling into terror and dark comedy., The time is the 1980s. The place is St. Louis, Missouri, once the country's fourth largest city, now the twenty-seventh: a fading river town whose only current claim to national attention is that it has chosen a young woman from Bombay, India to be its new police chief. No sooner has S. Jammu been installed, however, than the city becomes embroiled in a bizzare and all-pervasive political conspiracy.

    Not really worth the read...look to his much later work for great substance

    This is the authors first novel and it shows. His later writings are SO much better. This book reads disjointedly and characters are not well developed as in his later novels. I highly recommend is book "Freedom", it is awesome. And his book "Corrections is a good read as well. If nothing else this book shows how an author can evolve into a compelling novelist.
