Summary

In "A Time of Terror," Douglas Morey Ford masterfully weaves together narrative and poetry to explore the psychological and societal turmoil of a nation grappling with existential dread. The book employs a fragmented structure and vivid imagery that reflect the chaos of contemporary life, drawing parallels with historical episodes of panic and fear. Ford's use of stream-of-consciousness techniques invites readers into the minds of complex characters, rendering their experiences both visceral and relatable, all while framing their struggles within the broader context of cultural anxieties prevalent in the 21st century. Douglas Morey Ford, a noted scholar in social psychology and literature, draws from his extensive background in human behavior to inform the thematic depth of his work. His research into collective trauma and its artistic representations serves as a foundation for the narrative urgency present in "A Time of Terror." Ford's personal experiences in tumultuous environments further illuminate his observations on fear's pervasive impact on individual and societal dimensions, enriching the novel's emotional resonance. This compelling exploration is highly recommended for readers seeking a profound understanding of fear's role in shaping both personal identity and collective consciousness. "A Time of Terror" is particularly suitable for those interested in contemporary literary fiction that challenges societal norms and provokes critical thought on the human condition.

    Edinburgh is mourning recent the death of Queen Elizabeth II when Bookseller Delaney Nichols's boss comes to her with a most unusual assignment. An old friend of his, living in an estate in the village of Roslin, has found what could be a priceless relic on her property, and Delaney is tasked with investigating. Could Jolie possibly have an item of breathtaking Scottish historical significance in her possession? But when Delaney arrives at Jolie's estate, she is greeted by a legal team with a vested interest in the property. Jolie manages to remove the interlopers, but as they're examining the priceless item, they hear a scream, and meet a much less welcome discovery: a body. 
 
 
 
As Delaney digs deeper, she discovers Jolie's own fascinating history. Jolie's mother had long claimed that her daughter was the rightful heir to the throne, not Elizabeth II, because of an affair she claimed to have with King Edward VIII. The only evidence, however, is in the form of a purported journal that one of Edward's secretaries kept. The puzzles become more confusing when a connection is uncovered between this far-fetched story and the murdered man. Delaney will have to read between the lines to put together the pieces . . . or become history herself.
