One May evening in London, Adam Kindred, a young climatologist
in town for a job interview, is feeling good about the future as he
sits down for a meal at a little Italian bistro. He strikes up a
conversation with a solitary diner at the next table, who leaves
soon afterward. 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.
William Boyd's electrifying follow-up to the Costa Award-winning
Restless, Ordinary Thunderstorms is a profound and gripping novel
about the fragility of social identity, the corruption at the heart
of big business, and the secrets that lie hidden in the seamy
underbelly of every city.
