Late in the story, he confesses that he felt in love with a bartender named Mary. He is talking to an imaginary audience, and describes his actions and delusions. The sections are called The Graham Sessions, which are recordings that the killer makes as he goes along. There is a parallel storyline throughout much of the book. Emmy has a personal stake in the investigation. Data and trends are very important, and those are Emmy’s specialties. The story becomes a race to track down the arsonist before he can strike again. Books is brought back to lead the investigation, which Emmy works on with a few other agents. In time, Emmy’s boss agrees to open an investigation into the fires to see if they were set by a serial arsonist. Emmy is in her thirties, but to me, at least at first, she comes off younger.Įmmy’s ex-fiancé is FBI field agent Harrison “Books” Bookman, who quit the bureau after Emmy broke off their engagement.
Emmy is the narrator of the story, and Patterson seems to employ this storytelling technique often – he does so in the Alex Cross and Women’s Murder Mystery Club books. One of the victims of the fires is her twin sister, Marta.
Invisible is the story of FBI analyst Emmy Dockery, who believes a serial arsonist is on the loose, while others only see accidental fires. Having a collaborator raises a lot of questions, such as did they work together on the plot and characters, and how much did Patterson actually write? James Patterson has written so many books he almost has to have collaborators, otherwise he would have to write less. I heard an interview with Patterson that said he is working with collaborators for some of his books, but not for the Alex Cross series. It is also the first Patterson book I have read that includes a collaborator, David Ellis. Invisible is also the first standalone thriller I have read of his – I have read the first three Alex Cross books, and the first Women’s Murder Club book. It was on the bestseller list when I bought it at Barnes and Noble, and with my discount I got it at 40% off. This is the first book I have read of James Patterson’s I have read when it was first released.
