Under the shadow of the eldrich tower the occupiers are raising above the city, Finch is about to come face-to-face with a series of mysteries that will change him and Ambergris forever. Enough to put Finch in the crosshairs of every spy, rebel, informer, and traitor in town.
With no ID for the victims, no clues, no leads, and precious little hope, Finch’s fate hangs in the balance.īut there is more to this case than meets the eye. Detective John Finch has just one week to solve it or be sent to the camps. Vandermeer is also an author with a profound sense of the natural world (it comes out even more strongly in the Southern Reach books, but it’s there in all of his writing), which is something I feel my own work is heavily informed by, and I always appreciate it in others. But its new masters want this case closed, urgently. The city of Ambergris is half ruined, rotten, its population controlled by narcotics, internment camps, and acts of terror. One corpse is cut in half, the other is utterly unmarked.
In a deserted tenement in an occupied city, two dead bodies lie on a dusty floor as if they have fallen out of the air. From Jeff VanderMeer, the author of Borne and Annihilation, comes the paperback reissue of his cult classic Finch.
