In a place where seeing what is right in front of you can be a serious crime, Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Besźel Extreme Crime Squad must solve the mystery of a young woman's murder. His investigation will bring him face to face with the fringe groups who simmer with hatred for each other beneath the surface of the city of Besźel and her sister city, Ul Qoma. All the while, he risks retribution from the secretive entity that maintains the border between the two.

When the Devil, a charming trickster, arrives to tempt people in the town of Edmonton, he preys on those who appear vulnerable. In a social setting of nefarious gamesmanship and social striving, the devil may just meet his artful match!

Please note: As part of an ongoing project to renovate Krannert Center's parking garage elevator lobbies, the elevator lobby in Orange Parking (Illinois Street upper level) is currently closed. The elevator is not accessible from the Orange Parking garage. If you would like stair access from the Orange Parking garage, please use the door to the south (left) of the elevator lobby. If you would like elevator access from Illinois Street and are driving, please instead use the Yellow Parking (Illinois Street lower level) garage. The elevator can be accessed from Yellow Parking or from the two Oregon Street garages (Blue and Green). In addition, an accessible ramp is available from the street to the lobby-level entrance on Oregon Street. Please consider allotting some additional time to reach your destination while this work takes place. We appreciate your patience with the inconvenience you might experience as we work to serve you better!
