Jack Glass by Adam Roberts
Golden Age SF meets Golden Age Crime from the author Kim Stanley Robinson thinks should have won the Booker.
The absurdly talented Adam Roberts is..hauling British science fiction into a bright future of sparkling sentences and densely ironic conceits. Jack Glass is a dazzling trio of locked-room murder mysteries set in a brittle future autarchy, drawing heavily on golden-age SF but even more from the English detective stories of Margery Allingham and Ngaio Marsh. * The Daily Telegraph *
