The Invisible Detective

The Invisible Detective is a series of juvenile adventure novels, written by Justin Richards. Originally published in the United Kingdom between 2003 and 2005, the series has also been released in the United States.

The books are detective fiction with science fictional and/or fantastic elements (depending on the book). Set in London in the 1930s, the series recounts the adventures of four children, Art, Jonny, Meg, and Flinch, who act as "Baker Street Irregulars" to the detective Brandon Lake, who is known as "the Invisible Detective" as no one has seen more than his silhouetted figure in a darkened room. In fact, Brandon Lake does not exist; he was invented by the four children, who investigate all his cases themselves. Art plays the Invisible Detective in weekly sessions held in a darkened room, during which the Detective addresses the concerns of local residents, in exchange for a small fee.

Each book also has a parallel subplot set in the 2000s, where Art's grandson, also named Art, and his friend Sarah have related mysteries to solve.

    The Invisible

    by: G//Z/R

    Invisible, the man on the street
    The voice of silence,
    You don't want to meet
    The homeless, the poor
    Society's dregs
    The drunk and the junkie
    The woman who begs
    Old and dying are obsolete
    Children crying in the street
    Invisible, victims of hate
    Police and villains
    Wasters of time
    Scapegoats and prodigals
    Social outcasts
    Lost boys and girls, iconoclasts
    Old and dying are obsolete
    Children crying in the street
    Drugs abusing, our memory losing
    Invisible are everywhere
    Invisible, the child you abuse
    The people who die for the drugs that
    You use
    The wife that you batter, the husband
    You cheat
    The old and the dying, the now
