The Man Who Lived Underground The 'gripping' New York Times Bestseller

Fred Daniels is trying to head home to his pregnant wife one day when he is arrested. The police try to pin the murder of his employer's neighbor on him. He narrowly escaped down a manhole, and, for lack of better ideas, decides to make the sewers his home. From its disappointingly familiar depiction of police violence and injustice to the strangely joyful experience of living underground, this is one of the most compelling novels of the 20th century.
