With horrifying speed, this chance encounter leads to a series of malign accidents, through which Adam loses everything'home, family, friends, job, reputation, passport, credit cards, cell phone'never to get them back. The police are searching for him. There is a reward for his capture. A hired killer is stalking him. He is alone and anonymous in a huge, pitiless modern city. Adam has nowhere to go but down'underground. He decides to join that vast army of the disappeared and the missing who throng London's lowest levels as he tries to figure out what to do with his life and struggles to understand the forces that have made it unravel so spectacularly. Adam's quest will take him all along the river Thames, from affluent Chelsea to the gritty East End, and on the way he will encounter all manner of London's denizens'aristocrats, prostitutes, evangelists, and policewomen'and version after new version of himself.

"Eine scheinbar unbedeutende Entscheidung, und nichts ist mehr, wie es einmal war - in einer Millisekunde entgleitet ein ganzes Leben. Virtuos erzählt William Boyd davon, was es heißt, alles zu verlieren - und neue Wege zu beschreiten. Ein Roman so packend und so mitreißend wie Ruhelos, mit dem Boyd vor drei Jahren das deutsche Lesepublikum eroberte (über 100 000 verkaufte Exemplare). Ein Mann. Eine Zufallsbekanntschaft. Ein Aktenordner. Ein Toter. Von einer Sekunde auf die andere muss Adam Kindred, angesehener Klimatologe auf Durchreise in London, untertauchen. Jeder Weg zu seinem früheren Leben ist versperrt. Kontakt zur Familie nicht möglich, Kreditkarte und Mobiltelefon nicht zu benutzen, das Hotelzimmer außer Reichweite. Nur Stunden zuvor hatte er in einem kleinen italienischen Restaurant in Chelsea Philip Wang kennengelernt, Chef-Entwickler des Pharmakonzerns Calenture-Deutz. Als er ihn wenig später in seinem Apartment aufsucht, um einen vergessenen Ordner vorbeizubringen, findet er einen sterbenden Mann vor. In Panik flieht Adam, alle Indizien weisen auf ihn. Er versteckt sich auf Brachland nahe der Themse und muss nun, wie tausend andere in London, im Untergrund, im Verborgenen leben. Schnell hofft er, seine Unschuld zu beweisen, doch ahnt er nicht, welchen Mächten er gegenübersteht. William Boyd erzählt die Geschichte eines Mannes, dem der Boden unter den Füßen weggezogen wird. Er erzählt, welche Kräfte jemand entwickelt, dem alles genommen ist, und welch unerwartete Wege sich in düsterer Stunde auftun. Ein Roman über die Zerbrechlichkeit unserer Identität, in dem Boyd einmal mehr sein großes Können entfaltet. Und wie bei Ruhelos fasziniert er auch hier durch glänzend recherchierte Hintergründe, Glaubwürdigkeit und ein hohes Maß an Authentizität." .
