Description:
From the acclaimed author of Brazzaville Beach and The Blue Afternoon, a new novel, set in present-day London -- and demonstrating the superbly plotted storytelling that has earned Boyd his reputation as a writer whose "eccentric wit and restless intelligence exert a powerful appeal" (New York Times Book Review).
Expand description
One cold winter's morning, Lorimer Black -- insurance adjuster, young, good-looking, on the rise -- out on a perfectly ordinary business appointment, finds a hanged man, and realizes that his life is about to be turned upside down. The elements at play: a beautiful actress glimpsed in a passing taxi ... an odd new business associate whose hiring, firing, and rehiring make little sense ... a rock musician who is losing his mind. And a web of fraud in which virtually everyone Lorimer Black knows has been caught and in which he finds himself increasingly entangled.
