An Army veteran turned Chicago cop.
A despondent high school student.
One of them is the shooter. Discover who and why.
The Theory of Anything; description: A brilliant professor. A shocking murder. The truth is more complex and unpredictable than it seems. When Dr. David Solon walked out of the coffee shop on the afternoon of May 3, 2011, he didn’t expect to foil an attempted robbery in a nearby alley. He didn’t expect to recognize the would-be robber. And he didn’t expect to shoot that man to death.
After a year of frustrated effort, a horrific tragedy sparks David’s incredible discovery about mathematical randomness. It’s a theory that will reshape his field and change the way everyone thinks about physics, history and basic laws of cause-and-effect. The Theory of Anything takes readers back through the previous seven days to uncover the events—random or predetermined—that will define David’s career and ruin his life.
