    Alex Bleach, ángel caído del rock francés, ha muerto de una sobredosis en la bañera de un hotel. Toda una desgracia para sus fans, pero sobre todo para Vernon Subutex, antiguo vendedor de discos cincuentón que aún conserva el magnetismo de antaño. Bleach no era un simple amigo, era la persona que le pagaba el alquiler, y su muerte ha arrojado a Vernon a la precariedad. Sin trabajo, sin dinero, sin familia y sin techo, la vida de Vernon parece abocada a una espiral de desgracias. Solo le quedan las filmaciones que realizó el propio Bleach y que dejó en su apartamento a modo de testamento.

    "Vernon Subutex is still on the streets. Hanging around with alcohol-soaked Charles in the Parc de Buttes Chaumont, feverish and hallucinating, he is completely cut off from the wider world and unaware that he is the subject of a frantic search by a crowd of hunters hot on the trail of the last recordings of the famous dead musician, Alex Bleach. But just imagine that one of these hunters finally gets hold of the precious tapes. What might they contain? The answer could have shocking - almost apocalyptic - consequences."--Publisher's description
