I just finished The Scar, by China Miéville. I think I like it even better than Perdido Street Station. Maybe because the prose is a little less verbose (he only used "vertiginous" and "salubrious" once each!) Maybe because it's about political manipulations. Maybe just because it's got a vampire. :-)

The Scar is completely self-contained. Bellis initial motivations are tied to Perdido Street Station, but she doesn't know why or what the hell happened. She just knows Isaac did something, and now she has to get the hell out of town.
