Early one morning in New York City, Will Heller, a sixteen-yearold paranoid schizophrenic, gets on an uptown B train alone. Like most people he knows, Will believes the world is being destroyed by climate change; unlike most people, he's convinced he can do something about it. Unknown to his doctors, unknown to the police—unknown even to Violet Heller, his devoted mother—Will alone holds the key to the planet's salvation. To cool down the world, he has to cool down his own overheating body: to cool down his body, he has to find one willing girl. And he already has someone in mind. Lowboy, John Wray's third novel, tells the story of Will's fantastic and terrifying odyssey through the city's tunnels, back alleys, and streets in search of Emily Wallace, his one great hope, and of Violet Heller's desperate attempts to locate her son before psychosis claims him completely. She is joined by Ali Lateef, a missing-persons specialist, who gradually comes to discover that more is at stake than the recovery of a runaway teen: Violet—beautiful, enigmatic, and as profoundly at odds with the world as her son—harbors a secret that Lateef will discover at his own peril. Suspenseful and comic, devastating and hopeful by turns, Lowboy is a fearless exploration of youth, sex, and violence in contemporary America, seen through one boy's haunting and extraordinary vision.

William Hoek, quattordici anni, è appena fuggito da un istituto d’igiene mentale. Di soprannome fa Lowboy, perché è lunatico, imbronciato, giù di corda e perché gli piacciono i treni della sotterranea. Non per nulla, quando lo vediamo per la prima volta è nel metrò di New York, su uno dei suoi treni prediletti. All’imperturbabile sikh di età avanzata che gli siede accanto confida il suo segreto: lo sanno, loro, che il mondo morirà tra sei ore, bruciato? E che l’unica maniera per impedire che ciò avvenga è che lui, Lowboy, perda la verginità? Intanto il detective Ali Lateef, al secolo Rufus Lamarck White, noto in tutto il dipartimento per la sua passione per acrostici e anagrammi, è alle prese con la madre del fuggiasco, Violet Hoek. Ali Lateef, così ribattezzato a quattro anni dal padre diventato Muhammad Jeroboam, è il capo della sezione “Scomparsi Speciale Categoria”. Nutre un autentico amore per l’invisibilità e ha una specie di invidia della scomparsa.Oscure storie che riemergono dal passato di Lowboy e di sua madre Violet (per la quale Ali dimostra rapidamente di provare un debole), rebus, anagrammi, tracce misteriose, incontri con le originali creature che abitano i sotterranei della Grande Mela guidano il detective nella sua ricerca contro il tempo, anche perché senza medicine il ragazzo diventa pericoloso per sé e per gli altri.
