“It may sound cold, but they need to be objectified, viewed as a thing, simply a piece of meat, nothing more than an object to be studied for evidence.… Once you begin to imagine glowing green eyes and chestnut hair flowing in the wind … you start missing the little things - and it’s the little things that make the story.” “The last thing you want to do while standing over a victim’s body is to imagine them alive,” Danny explains. In his 30s, a bit too fond of Grey Goose vodka, he is lonely, widowed after his wife, Megan, died in a car crash on Interstate 5.įor him, the danger of the case is that it offers too many points of identification, from the books on Beth’s shelves that he’d studied in college (“A Tale of Two Cities,” “Heart of Darkness,” “Moby-Dick,” “Huckleberry Finn”) to the odd coincidence that, years before, she had attended his wedding as the date of a friend. Revolving around the brutal killing of Beth Williams, a high school English teacher, “A King of Infinite Space” takes its time developing, moving between the investigation and the tattered fragments of Danny’s life.
