Author Q&A
A noir melding of ancient Chinese folklore, organised crime and cutting edge medical technology.A policeman is murdered in San Francisco. And spends the rest of the novel hunting down the man who did it. And trying to get the answer to some terrifying questions. Why is he in another man's body? Why is someone trying to kill him. Again. And why is he being haunted by a nine tailed Albino fox? From the shell-shattered streets of Stalingrad in 1942 to the back allys of San Fransico's chinatown, evocative of place, crystal clear in its depiction of character this is literary fantastic fiction at its most compelling from one of the most exciting writers working today.
"Fusing modern crime noir, with science fiction and a soupcon of Chinese mythology, Jon Courtenay Grimwood drags us headlong into the seedy world of Bobby Zha. There is much to enjoy here, in particular Grimwood's descriptive prose. Grimwood invests his hero with enough emotional layers to take on a life of his own."
