I enjoyed this original and enlightening story by Huw Thomas.Findo Gask is an almost Dickensian character that the reader can easily relate to, and his history is fascinating.  Who could imagine what it must be like to grow up in this day and age without any legal identity whatsoever?  Huw Thomas has taken this concept and given us a character who takes full advantage of his invisible status to build himself a spectacular career in crime.  Findo is intelligent, imaginative and endearing and the situations in which he finds himself are cleverly constructed and thrillingly spectacular in their execution.  With an excellent supporting cast of villains who appreciate his unusual talents, a police force that is unable to get their hands on such a slippery customer as Findo,  and close friends and family who support him, this is a well-rounded tale that many readers will enjoy.My only reservation is that the book is too long, which does slow the pace somewhat.
