In this enthralling crime novel, a baffling murder shocks London: a man has been murdered in a locked room after receiving anonymous threats, his body resurfacing in a nearby canal. Witnesses swear no one went in – or out. The suspect? A supposedly invisible man.

As he begins to unravel the fatal mystery, Brown cleverly illustrates how anyone can become invisible – not by magic, but by expectation.
