How do you solve a mystery when you can't remember the clues? There are three things you need to know about Jasper. 1. He sees the world completely differently. 2. He can't recognise faces - not even his own. 3. He is the only witness to the murder of his neighbour, Bee Larkham. But uncovering the truth about that night will change his world forever... An extraordinary and compelling debut which will make you see the world in a way you've never seen it before
