In the year 2020, one of the most remarkable inhabitants of the new age is Crygender, a surgical hermaphrodite so deftly constructed, it is impossible to determine his/her original sex. Cry is proprietor of Babylon--the world's most famous bordello--where anything can be bought . . . even murder.
This is the first sci-fi boook that really caught my eye (big surprise with a bright awesome neon-colored cover like that) and the first one I actually read. The twist can be guessed immediately and the book was rather predictable, but it was still very enjoyable. I already find myself wanting to read it again. In the future a detective is investigating the disappearence of a girl who was last seen at the world-famous Bordello known as Babylon which is run by a herm known as Crygender. Think a non-gory sci-fi version of "Hostel" crossed with "The Island", "Hedwig", "Rocky Horror", and even a bit of "Mommie Dearest".
