Major return to science fiction by one of its most acclaimed visionaries

A private eye stalks a serial killer through the streets of a permanently dark world in this mind-bending sci-fi thriller from one of the genre’s most visionary authors
 
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.

Praise for A Man of Shadows

PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR:

"This superb novel of light, glass and blood proves again that Jeff Noon is one of our few true visionaries."
Warren Ellis

"A disturbing and bizarre journey by one of the great masters of weird fiction."
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time

"Noon is the Lewis Carroll of Manchester's housing estates: eccentric, surreal, and ready to take everything to its most absurd conclusion. In Noon's stories the cocktail of alienation, narcotics and gadgetry fizzes with energy."
The Times

"To say that Jeff Noon is a talented author is like saying that Neil Armstrong has travelled a bit."
Starburst magazine
