Sinopsis

In "6 Seconds of Darkness," Octavus Roy Cohen deftly weaves a gripping narrative that explores the psychological depths of human despair amidst social upheaval. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the novel employs a rich, evocative literary style that pairs expressive prose with sharp dialogue, allowing the reader to experience the tumultuous emotions of its characters. Cohen's work is a profound commentary on the existential themes of isolation and redemption, reflecting the modernist literary movement which sought to delve into the inner workings of the human psyche, all framed within the social and political anxieties of his time. Cohen, an influential figure known for his keen observations of societal intricacies, drew from his own experiences as a journalist and a writer during a period of significant change in America. His diverse background contributed to a unique blend of urban realism and psychological inquiry, forging a narrative that not only entertains but compels readers to confront unsettling truths about their own lives and the societies they inhabit. His deft use of numerous perspectives enriches the text, reflecting the multifaceted nature of his characters' journeys. This compelling book is highly recommended for readers interested in exploring the darker sides of human existence through a modernist lens. "6 Seconds of Darkness" promises to resonate with those who appreciate psychological depth and rich character development, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

    December, 1940. The season of goodwill is overshadowed by the death and destruction of the Blitz. In London's Covent Garden, where the glamour of theatreland rubs shoulders with the capital's busiest fruit and vegetable market, the war has closed the theatres and ruined the market trade.
    When a daylight air raid hits the Prince Albert Theatre on Drury Lane, rescuers find a man dying in the wreckage. But it wasn't the bomb that caused his fatal injuries - he's been stabbed, and with his dying breath he whispers what sounds like a fragmented confession ...
    As Detective Inspector John Jago begins to investigate, there's an underlying question he must grapple with: was the murdered man a killer himself?

    From the author of the bestselling Railway Detective series. 
    Chasing his dream of a glittering architectural career, Merlin Richards has left the Welsh valleys for the Arizona desert, propelled by a handwritten note from the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright. Richards arrives at the Arizona Biltmore hotel, where he meets a beautiful young designer named Rosa Lustig. Like every man in her circle, Merlin is captivated by Rosa but soon finds himself the prime suspect in her murder. 
     
    Jealous suitors, envious workers, and the cynical police are all convinced that Richards is the killer. As he begins to put the pieces of the puzzle together, what he builds is not the impressive edifice he came to learn about, but a defence that will imprison a murderer.
