Instead she is dangling from a cliff, far above the sea, reaching out to pocket an impossibly beautiful thing.This bold theft will change the course of Celie's life, and the lives of others.One hundred years later, a house is ransacked. The only thing missing- a dusty case containing that same impossible thing.What could conceivably be so important that it is stolen again and again (and perhaps yet again . . . )?So begins this extraordinary mystery from award-winning Belinda Bauer.A taut, wonderfully imagined novel brimming with skulduggery at every turn, The Impossible Thing is a blazing testament to Belinda Bauer's status as one of our greatest living crime writers.
