The Body Library (John Nyquist #2) by Jeff Noon
(April, 2018 by Angry Robot)
Confession: I have not read the first installment series, nor do I know anything about it, but with a title like “The Body Library”, I think I may have to go back and check out book one.
About the Book:
Jeff Noon returns with a staggering hallucinogenic sequel to A Man of Shadows, taking hapless investigator John Nyquist into a city where reality is contaminated by the imagination of its citizens
In a city dissolving into an infected sprawl of ideas, where words come to life and reality is contaminated by stories, John Nyquist wakes up in a room with a dead body… The dead man’s impossible whispers plunge him into a murder investigation like no other. Clues point him deeper into an unfolding story infesting its participants as reality blurs between place and genre.
Only one man can hope to put it all back together into some kind of order, enough that lives can be saved… That man is Nyquist, and he is lost.

I’m assuming the cover has some significance to story, somehow? Regardless, still look cool! 🙂
