The brilliant, mind-bending return to science fiction by one of its most acclaimed visionaries.

Below the neon skies of Dayzone, where the lights never go out and night has been banished, lowly private eye John Nyquist takes on a teenage runaway case.

His quest takes him from Dayzone into the permanent dark of Nocturna. As the vicious, seemingly invisible serial killer known only as Quicksilver haunts the streets, Nyquist starts to suspect that the runaway girl holds within her the key to the city's fate. In the end there's only one place left to search: the shadow-choked zone known as Dusk.

strangeness and weirdness infused into a more traditional film noir murder mystery with private investigator, wealthy family, and so on. the end chapters are fully weird, with time and space no longer making sense. it was interesting, and I like mystery books, but it was a little too nonsensical for me. also the main character was a jerk. but read it anyway! fully appreciate the creativity. it's set in the mid-century.

Weird film noir

This was an excellent mystery story set in a science fiction/fantasy setting. The worldbuilding in this story was second to none. Some of the ideas in it were completely original and mindblowing. The lead character was a perfect grizzled detective. The narrator has a great voice and created an eerie mood that fit perfectly.

The amazing ideas and worldbuilding.
