Sara non vuole esistere. Il suo dono è l'invisibilità, il talento di rubare i segreti delle persone.

Ma non si è mai pentita di nulla e rivendica ogni scelta. Poliziotta in pensione, ha lavorato in un'unità legata ai Servizi, impegnata in intercettazioni non autorizzate. Il tempo le è scivolato tra le dita mentre ascoltava le storie degli altri.

Helen was just 17 - she would be 67 at the time of writing - when she was last seen. The teenager was not having a good time. Her open face, late-'60s blond bob, and slightly prominent front teeth made her look younger than her youth. She had a slightly drooping eye which made her face particularly notable.
