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
Noëlle 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.
