Griffith
's father died from a bicycle accident in 1972, his mother turned to him and said, 'If I don't tell you this now, I'll never be able to tell you. I had a long and happy relationship with a man you knew slightly.' Thus began
Griffith
's journey to reconstruct this hidden relationship between his mother and a deeply cultured jack-of-all-trades cartoonist and crime novelist. Invisible Ink unfolds like a detective story, alternating between past and present, as
Griffith
recreates the quotidian habits of suburban Levittown and the professional and cultural life of Manhattan in the 1950s and '60s as seen through his mother's and his own teenage eyes.

Griffith
puts the pieces together and reveals a mother he never knew." --From publisher.
