Name Of A Book?

[AliFlump]

Hi. Can anyone tell me the name of a book or the author. It's written by a fella who used to work at google. The story was something about a person going to work in a shop which had mystery items and they had to find the secret of the shop. I'm sure it had a number in the title. I used to have it on my Amazon wishlist but it's disappeared

Thanks

If you don't get an answer here, try going to Abebooks and posting on their booksleuth forum

Disappeared? Spooky! But quite in line with the essence of the book, it would seem. I note Amazon's UK website says it's not yet available. But I've managed to get one through Abebooks. Couldn't wait once I'd read the first few pages - (see link). And thanks, Ali, for drawing my attention to it.....
