Beschreibung
那晚之前,他有工作,有未婚妻,有個家,還有一個很有意義的生活;那晚之後,未婚妻忘了他是誰,他的公寓被當作待售屋賣掉,同事不認識他,路人看不見他。理查•馬修這個人像被修正液塗掉,消失在這個世界上。
為了找回自己的生活,理查追著女孩進入「下層倫敦」――那是一個光怪陸離的世界,而且危機四伏。女孩告訴理查,她的家人是「開啟者」,可以在沒有門的地方無中生門,不須鑰匙就能將鎖住的門打開,但也因此遭人殺害。她答應理查,只要幫她找出凶手,她就帶理查去見天使伊斯靈頓,讓他恢復被抹除以前的生活。
然而,在「下層」待得越久,理查就越感到不可思議:這裡有能跟老鼠溝通的鼠言人、憑空出現的地鐵站、在百貨公司裡舉行的深夜市集、像人又像動物的奇異居民。即使他依舊想回家,現實與幻想的界線、上層與下層倫敦的模樣,卻在他心中漸漸變得模糊難辨……

Under the streets of London there's a place most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, knights in armour and pale girls in black velvet. This is the city of the people who have fallen between the cracks.
Richard Mayhew, a young businessman, is going to find out more than enough about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his workday existence and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and utterly bizarre. And a strange destiny awaits him down here, beneath his native city: neverwhere.
