This particular book was read some time ago, and I really cannot remember who the Author / what the Title was. :m: If anybody could help it would be really sweet.:) Here follows a short description of the book.

A detective who lives in a neighborhood called 'Color' ('Colour'?). This neighborhood is merely part of many neighborhoods which cover the entire continent. He is hired to solve a case and has to go to a neighborhood which is convinced that the outside world does not exist. There he meets his client and he travels into the clients' dreams where he discovers his ex partner is trying to kill his client by messing (not sure how) with his dreams.

After this you find out how the detective came to be in this world. He walked across the sea until he got to the dreamworld. There might have been something to do with (sand) dunes?
:shrug:
Any ideas? Thanks.

Yeah, it really was an awesome book. Only problem is I can only remember what I wrote up top. I checked out Robert B. Parker and it's not him. It was definitely science fiction. Thanks anyway.

That does sort of resemble the book "1985" but I could be wrong. :shrug:

Get beyond your emotional baggage and move Only Forward

As Stark explains, cities used to be divided by simple differences like race and creed. People got bored with hating their neighbors. Cities also had problems as a single city covered most of a country. The solution was Neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are self governing, self-regulating states that are free to act and govern as they please. Individuals pick their Neighborhood by finding the hood that matches their tastes and beliefs. Our hero lives in a Neighborhood called Color.
