'he has no address' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'book after heading to virtual city' is the wordplay.
'book' becomes 'nt' (I've seen this in other clues).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'heading to' says to take the initial letters.
'city' becomes 'agra' (Indian city).
The first letter of 'virtual' is 'v'.
'v'+'agra'='vagra'
'nt' after 'vagra' is 'VAGRANT'.
