Synopsis

He spent fifty years vanishing in plain sight. Then, he actually became a ghost.

Eric Curtis was one of the ninety-nine percent. Mid-fifties, running a soul-crushing call centre in West London, navigating the tedious roadworks of the M4, and drifting through a life so deeply rutted he could no longer see over the top. He was a man entirely overlooked by a world that didn't care if he existed.

Then, a freak chemical accident in his garden shed changed everything. Eric didn't get a superpower. He didn't get a choice. He simply became permanently, physically invisible. No off-switch. No going back.

Suddenly, a man who meant nothing to anyone holds the ultimate weapon. Furious at the sheer, mind-numbing boredom of his existence, Eric teams up with his wife Jane to force the world to pay up—rigging football matches and orchestrating high-stakes betting scams right under the noses of tens of thousands of unsuspecting fans.

It’s the perfect crime. Until MI6 notices.

Tracked by heat-vision goggles and cornered by the head of secret intelligence, Eric is given a brutal ultimatum: watch his family be torn apart by the state, or become a completely deniable assassin for Her Majesty's Government. From a naked sprint through a hostile Afghan desert to the heavily guarded private quarters of Air Force One, Eric is about to find out exactly what his country asks of a man who can’t be seen.

In the dark world of international espionage, being invisible doesn't make you bulletproof. Because even a ghost can be made to bleed.
