The Fine Art of Invisible Detection by Robert Goddard, TP $16.99

Robert Goddard is a British writer who has written many mysteries, primarily stand-alone titles. The main character of this book is Wada, a forty-seven-year-old Japanese widow. Her husband, Tomohiko, had been on the Tokyo subway during the sarin attack of 1995. He had not died immediately but lingered in a coma for ten years before he did die. She is the secretary of a private detective but there is no glamor or excitement in her work, it is purely administrative, low key like the rest of her life. But when her boss becomes involved in a cold case everything changes. Robert Goddard is a good writer and a great storyteller.
