When J. Mendelssohn is brutally attacked, one snowy January morning in New York, the detectives working on the case search through the footage of his last movements, captured by cameras in his home and on the street, looking for something in the patterns of time that will propel them towards a critical epiphany. Their work is like that of a poet: the search for a random word that, included at the right instance, will suddenly make sense of everything. Told from a multitude of perspectives, in lyrical, hypnotic prose, this story explores the varied consequences that can derive from one simple act.
