Items related to 9Tail Fox (Gollancz)
Sergeant Bobby Zha of the SFPD is desperate to find out who murdered him. But he also needs the answers to some other questions. Like, 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 Celestial fox? From the shell-shattered ruins of Stalingrad in 1942 to the present-day politics of San Francisco's Chinatown, 9Tail Fox is evocative of place and crystal-clear in its depiction of character.

About the Author:
From Booklist:
Jon Courtenay Grimwood (born 1953 in Valletta, Malta) is a British science fiction and fantasy author. He studied at Kingston College, then worked in publishing and as a freelance writer for magazines and newspapers including The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph and The Independent. He now lives in London and Winchester.
When you're murdered, you'd think your story would be over. Not so for Bobby Zha, a San Francisco cop who, after being shot and killed, awakes in New York, in the body of a man who has been in a coma. But Bobby is not as gobsmacked as you might expect because, while he was dying, a mythological, nine-tailed fox appeared to him and announced that he had one last chance to rediscover what makes life worth living and, incidentally, find out who murdered him. Grimwood, a British sf writer with a well-deserved reputation for mind-expanding ideas and entertaining characters, here takes a slightly familiar premise (man seeks vengeance from beyond the grave) and turns it into something wholly fresh, exciting, and suspenseful. Bobby Zha is a complex character, a man for whom death is the first giant step on a road to self-improvement (you might even say death's the best thing that ever happened to him). The typical revenge story, in other words, is transformed into a story of personal redemption—and a darn good one at that. Pitt, David
