Clements uses the same characters from Things Not Seen and Things Hoped For but tells this story from the persepctive of Alicia, who's blind. Alicia is thrust into a mystery when a (literally) invisible man wanted by the FBI seeks her help. It's the story's less-over-the-top elements--how Alicia copes with her disability and her crush on Bobby--that have the most appeal.
