✦ Synopsis


Dans le garage de sa luxueuse demeure, l'architecte Amanda Powell
découvre un clochard mort de froid. Émue, elle prend en charge ses
obsèques. Mais son garage contenait de la nourriture, alors pourquoi cet
homme s'est-il laissé mourir de faim ? C'est la question que se pose le
reporter Michael Deacon, spécialiste des sans abris. Il se lance dans
une enquête au cours de laquelle il recueille Terry, un jeune sans
famille qui a préféré la rue à l'internement. Ce grand gaillard d'une
quinzaine d'années a bien connu le clochard. Avec son aide et celle d'un
photographe, le journaliste plonge dans le passé et s'intéresse à de
mystérieuses disparitions.

Si le récit se déroule avec comme
arrière-plan social, le milieu des SDF, ce n'est pas là son seul
intérêt. Les protagonistes sont tous confrontés à des problèmes
affectifs et d'identité que la romancière aborde avec virtuosité, en
analysant les relations familiales, la misère, le péché et la
rédemption.
