About This Book

A grieving widower begins to encounter a series of impossible overlaps with another present: doors that seem to open twice, freshly smoked cigarettes appearing and disappearing, and diary pages in his late wife's handwriting dated that day. Friends observe the oddities and he vacillates between despair and a forensic determination to prove what he has seen, buying a camera and scrutinizing household evidence. The narrative foregrounds the clash between personal loss and anomalous phenomena, exploring perception, the limits of sanity, and the slow, methodical search for physical proof amid events that resist rational explanation.
