Joe Cinque's murder wasn't a series of facts that I could be professional about, that I could seize and manipulate with my mind. I was helpless in the face of it. It billowed like a dark curtain on every breeze that blew. It seeped into everything I did. It was a stricken land to which my imagination had been exiled. I couldn't find a place to get back across the border. The only way was to write about it. But I was paralysed.
