Goofs

Arabic letters in the showcase of a store where Evelyn Mercer has been killed do not only form words but have no ligatures while they must.

The store where Evelyn is killed is described as "106th Street Liquor store." Detroit has no 106th street.

When Bobby kneels over Jack after he has been shot, the snow on his left arm changes pattern and amount and even disappears in one shot.
