Sammy Starling was once a notable villain, but for some years he's been a semi-respectable businessman with two passions: His beautiful young wife and his stamp collection. And now, it seems, he's a victim: Someone has kidnapped Eva Starling and is sending ransom demands in envelopes with rare and extremely valuable stamps. The stamps feature the likeness of the young Queen Victoria, to whom Eva bears a startling resemblance, and they have been rendered worthless. Dead, one might say. The message is not lost on Sammy. What's not lost on Detective Chief Inspector Brock is that Sammy nearly cost Brock his job, back in the day, and took at least one good man's life.
Sammy Jacobs is into ghosts and science fiction. Not exactly the smartest hobby--at least not if you ask Sammy's parents. They're research scientists and they only believe in "real" science. But now Sammy's met someone who's totally UN-real. He's hanging out in Sammy's room. And eating his cereal at breakfast. Sammy's got to find a way to get rid of his new "friend." Only problem is . . . Sammy's new friend is invisible!
