The Mystery of the Invisible Thief is an installment in the Five Find-Outers and Dog series. The plot centers on a series of thefts where there are no witnesses and seemingly no way for the criminal to have entered or escaped—leading the community to speculate about an invisible thief. The Find-Outers must use logic to figure out the clever trick or disguise the thief is using, ultimately proving that the thief is not magical, but simply very cunning.
