City Of Stairs

'Robert Jackson Bennett deserves a huge audience' - Brent Weeks; New York Times bestselling author of The Black Prism In the city of stairs; nothing is as it seems. You've got to be careful when you're chasing a murderer through Bulikov; for the world is not as it should be in that city. When the gods were destroyed and all worship of them banned by the Polis; reality folded; now stairs lead to nowhere; alleyways have become portals to the past; and criminals disappear into thin air. The murder of Dr Efrem Pangyui; the Polis diplomat researching the Continent's past; has begun something and now whispers of an uprising flutter out from invisible corners. Only one woman may be willing to pursue the truth - but it is likely to cost her everything. 'Truly refreshing' - New York Times Book Review
