Eventually, the marks reveal themselves to be a detailed map of an unknown land, and Lydia begins to understand that these marks, invisible to all but herself and a mysterious Moroccan man named Layesh, will lead her on a strange and perilous journey. 'The Tattooed Map' is Lydia's illustrated journal of the days and weeks leading up to her disappearance. When she disappears midway through the journey, Christopher takes up the journal, using it first as a means of recording his search for her and then, increasingly, as a clue to her fate."
