"A wildly imaginative and darkly funny novel from the acclaimed novelist and editor of The Believer Heidi Julavits, The Vanishers is part detective thriller, part satire, and part family drama. Following the struggle between a young physics protégée and her jealous mentor, it crosses decades, continents, and the threshold into the paranormal."
