Ghostwritten

Ghostwritten moves through nine narrators scattered across the globe. A Japanese cult member flees after a subway gas attack. A young man works in a Tokyo record shop. A British lawyer launders money in Hong Kong. An old woman runs a tea shack on a Chinese mountain. A noncorporeal spirit drifts between human hosts in Mongolia, searching for its own origin. A late-night radio host in New York takes a call that may decide the fate of the species. Each chapter triggers the next through chance and consequence, building a planetary web of cause and effect.
