A young boy living in today's London discovers he's connected to an invisible detective from the 1930s in this incredible historical fiction series for readers aged 9+.

In 1937 London, the world is graced with The Invisible Detective, who can solve any mystery, great or small. But his unfinished business haunts a modern-day boy living in London, Arthur Drake, who discovers ancient curses, comes across old books belonging to the detective and receives visits from ghosts of the past. In each book, what happens in Arthur's life is deeply connected with a case that the invisible Detective has dealt with ... and Arthur must use that connection to his advantage.
