She is not invisible

Set in London and Manhattan, Marcus Sedgwick's latest thriller centres on Laureth and her mission to find her father. There are many aspects that make this book special, not least that it's told from the perspective of a blind person. Another page-turner from a master story-teller, with plenty of adventure and puzzles but so much more...theories, philosophies, ideas. Marcus Sedgwick is definitely one of the most versatile writers around.
