A razor-sharp work of literary fiction, The Twenty-Seventh City chronicles the political unraveling of St. Louis, Missouri, after a mysterious and charismatic Indian police commissioner, S. Jammu, is appointed to lead the city's struggling department. Franzen constructs a sprawling, suspenseful narrative that uncovers a web of conspiracy, manipulation, and hidden agendas as Jammu and her network of operatives systematically destabilize the city's power structure and the lives of its most prominent citizens. At its center is the Probst family — particularly real estate magnate Martin Probst — whose personal and professional world is methodically dismantled as the conspiracy tightens around him. Written with the ambitious scope of a political thriller and the psychological depth of serious literary fiction, the novel illustrates how private lives and public institutions are inextricably bound, each vulnerable to the other's corruption. Franzen's debut announces a bold, satirical intelligence, presenting a portrait of American civic decline that is as darkly comic as it is unsettling.
