  • ""Una mujer es hallada muerta en la ciudad de Beszel, en algún lugar de los confines de Europa. Para llevar a cabo la investigación, el inspector Borlú tiene que viajar desde esta decadente ciudad a su urbe rival, idéntica e íntima vecina, la vibrante ciudad de Ul Qoma. Pero cruzar esta frontera signfica emprender un viaje tan físico como psíquico, ver aquello que se mantiene invisible. Con el detective de Ul Qoma Qussim Dhatt, Borlú se ve envuelto en un submundo de nacionalistas que intentan destruir la ciudad vecina, y de unificacionistas que sueñan con convertir las dos ciudades en una sola. Mientras los detectives desvelan los secretos de la mujer asesinada, empiezan a sospechar una verdad que podría costarles algo más que sus vidas.""

But as he probes, the evidence begins to point to conspiracies far stranger, and more deadly, than anything he could have imagined."@en

When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borl? of the Extreme Crime Squad. To investigate, Borl? 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. With Ul Qoman detective Qussim Dhatt, Borl? 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."@en
