A mind-bending time heist novel that will appeal to fans of V. E. Schwab' s ' Shades of Magic' series. "There was no murder . . . Because they never existed. " The Geneva branch of Interpol - the international agency tasked with policing magic and the arcane arts - is where careers go to die. Action is rare as Switzerland banned magic seven hundred years ago. That' s how Agent Jackson Burnett likes it. But then reports of an explosion lead Jackson to the home of businessman Bernard Bouchon. What' s there is unfathomable: The family and their possessions have vanished into ash. Jackson' s enigmatic new partner Luca Tami, a blind Talent able to perform magic, suspects powerful supernatural forces are at play. The family weren' t killed . . . they' ve been erased from time. With all traces of the family disappearing, the case is hours away from being forgotten. How can Jackson solve a crime no one remembers happening? He must find a way to remember. He must discover who is behind the spell and why. Dangerous magics are in use, and it' s clear those controlling them won' t let anyone stand in their way.
