If you enjoy solving mysteries then this is the book for you. Maths whizz Alice Jones has already solved a mystery or two but when a scientist disappears from a locked room she is confronted with her toughest case yet. Dr. Learner is working on a invisibility suit. Is science behind his disappearance? Bold Alice Jones won’t stop till she knows the truth.
