Caleb Williams, ein einfacher Bauernsohn, erhält nach dem Tod seines Vaters die Chance, als Sekretär für den angesehenen Gutsherren Ferdinando Falkland zu arbeiten. Caleb ist außergewöhnlich belesen, feinsinnig und hat eine vielversprechende Zukunft vor sich. Doch seine Wissbegierde führt dazu, dass er eines Tages das Geheimnis seines Herren lüftet. Von nun an ist Caleb seines Lebens nicht mehr sicher. Er wird erbarmungslos gejagt, denn Falkland ist jedes Mittel recht, um ihn zum Schweigen zu bringen.Mit seinem 1794 veröffentlichten Roman über Flucht, Verfolgung und Gefangenschaft hat Godwin ein frühes Meisterwerk der Kriminalliteratur geschaffen. Und gleichzeitig greift er damit hart die Strafgesetzgebung jener Zeit an. Caleb Williams steht exemplarisch für die Opfer eines Systems, in dem »der Mensch zum Zerstörer des Menschen« wird. Seine Zeitgenossen hat dieses eigensinnige Werk zutiefst erschüttert und bis heute hat Godwins Roman über einen zu Unrecht Gepeinigten seine Anziehungskraft nicht verloren. In einer brillanten Neuübersetzung von Alexander Pechmann.
