About the book
The tales of nine very different characters in nine different cities that "don't end, [but] scarily morph and transmute into each other as we travel through them in the company of a crazed cult member, a corrupt lawyer, a Tokyo jazz aficionado, an art thief, a New York late-night DJ."--Booklist.
