About This Book

Reporters visit a university laboratory where a physicist demonstrates a method for rendering matter invisible by bending light around objects with a devised electromagnetic apparatus. Experiments soon lead to an unseen figure terrorizing the city, sending police headquarters into a frenzy of alarms. Journalists, police, and scientists combine scientific explanation and detective work to track the invisible menace, and the plot builds to a surprising, tightly constructed twist that reframes both the apparent miracle and its consequences.
