Patrick Modiano explores the boundaries of recollection in a
"mesmerizing, enigmatic novel" (Publishers Weekly) "A mesmerizing,
enigmatic novel. . . . A story about growing old and the gaps and
omissions that make up a life. . . . Its dreamlike prose and a
beguiling structural twist make it a worthy and satisfying addition
to [Modiano's] accomplished oeuvre."-Publishers Weekly "Nobel Prize
winner Modiano's title smartly ties together the theme, plot, and
ambience of his latest book . . . The past overlaps and memories
half-emerge in classic Modiano fashion, just as a message in
invisible ink tentatively reveals itself in the right
light."-Library Journal The latest work from Nobel laureate Patrick
Modiano, Invisible Ink is a spellbinding tale of memory and its
illusions. Private detective Jean Eyben receives an assignment to
locate a missing woman, the mysterious Noelle Lefebvre. While the
case proves fruitless, the clues Jean discovers along the way
continue to haunt him. Three decades later, he resumes the
investigation for himself, revisiting old sites and tracking down
witnesses, compelled by reasons he can't explain to follow the cold
trail and discover the shocking truth once and for all. A number
one best seller in France, hailed by critics as "breathtakingly
beautiful" (Les Inrockuptibles) and "refined and dazzling" (Le
Journal du Dimanche), Invisible Ink is Modiano's most thrilling and
revelatory work to date.
