Discover the new compelling novel from Sunday Times bestselling thriller writer, James Patterson...

My name is Elinor Gilbert. And I am the Invisible Woman.

No, not the kind who can walk through walls, or make a deck of cards look like it’s shuffling itself. The other kind, facing uncertainty in middle age.

Once a top FBI agent, Elinor had faded into obscurity, her past mistakes casting long shadows. But when a call from her former boss offers a shot at redemption, she can’t resist. Her mission: infiltrate the opulent world of a New York art dealer suspected of laundering money for a notorious drug cartel.

Suddenly disguised as a grandmotherly nanny, nothing can prepare Elinor for what she encounters behind closed doors of his brownstone family home.

Surveillance is second nature. Babysitting is not.

But as the risks increase and dark secrets are unveiled, she also develops an unexpected love for the young charges she’s hired to protect.

Can she betray the trust of those who have come to depend on her to get the job done?
