We see our present-day pandemic world and New York City through the eyes of a former Wall Street veteran, Ridley, as he looks back upon his life in his enforced quarantine solitude, wondering what it all means and who he really is. Sitting and brooding night after night, gazing out his huge picture window high above the Central Park Reservoir, Ridley spots a flashing light in an apartment across the park as if a lonely quarantined person is signaling him in Morse code. His determination to find out who this mystery woman is leads him on an epic quest that will ultimately tempt him with either delusional madness or the fulfillment of his own mythic fate. Is he a dying man going mad or an everyman metamorphosing into a hero? Or both? We accompany Ridley as he leaves the safety of his apartment window to save the Fifth Avenue femme fatale and descends into a dangerous, increasingly surreal world of global conspiracies, madness, and sickness of this viral time. As Ridley's actions grow more and more uncharacteristic, he realizes the key to all the mysteries of now, and even all of history, seem to lie deep beneath the freezing waters of the reservoir."--Book jacket. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a City and town life $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Black humor. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 lcgft 941 $a 10 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240302012145.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012843.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033528.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230530010203.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210024746.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20221102014339.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20220927012738.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220708010547.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220616010224.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220614010211.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5014B168EBA711ECB9EC59E53EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
