169. William Boyd - Ordinary Thunderstorms

Not as good as some of the others; a thriller of sorts.

The central figure Adam Kindred witnesses a murder, is a suspect and finds himself drawn into the shadowy world of commercial medical science, cover-ups, etc and disappears completely from his past life by living rough in London, and meeting quite a variety of characters.

It would make a reasonable TV thriller but it is not remotely like the best William Boyd. Could be by a different author.

Get this from Waterstones
