Joshua Winter returns to England from Canada, where he has been living since his father disappeared twelve years earlier. He is in London ostensibly to take up a job, but really he is eager to discover the truth about his father. Soon he is drifting as his search carries him deeper into a twilight world of lurid motivation and degraded aspiration. It unwittingly carries him, too, straight into a trap. So begins a trail of murder and deception.
Unknown Pleasures is a study of loss and personal dislocation. It is also a contemporary elegy, at once a search for a missing person, an evocative portrait of London, and an unsettling psychological drama which introduces a cool, edgy new voice.
