Sinopse

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.

    Now Pick has the card. He has the code. 
    And, whether he’s ready or not, he’s in the game.

    Bobbi Sue Baxter has a serious choice to make because both love and murder are on the line. 
    The summer of 1988 is possibly one of love, and that’s the problem. Aspiring journalist Bobbi Sue Baxter has feelings for a man who’s engaged. But then again, he seems to return the vibe. Adding more mud to the already unclear waters, his fiancée might be involved in a murder that happened in the building where Bobbi Sue was taking an aerobics class. So should Bobbi Sue get involved?  
    That’s a definite yes.  
    Not with Hemi Miller—the flutters-in-the-stomach producing guy—but with the investigation of his fiancée, who screamed at Hemi’s ex-girlfriend to stay away. Because that ex-girlfriend wound up electrocuted in the community center locker room the next day.  
    So Bobbi Sue starts asking questions. What she discovers is a tapestry of intrigue—a secret love decades past, the supposed ghost of a custodian that stalks the community center halls, and a motive for murder that neither Bobbi Sue nor anyone else in town saw coming.  
    Return to Wildcat Springs, Indiana, for a Bobbi Sue Baxter tale even more riveting than the first!
