Sinopse

In "Midnight," Octavus Roy Cohen embarks on an evocative exploration of themes surrounding love, loss, and the shadows of human experience. This novel is penned in a lyrical style that interweaves vivid imagery with a thoughtful examination of societal constraints, reflective of the early 20th-century American literary landscape. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of Southern life, where the nuances of interpersonal relationships illustrate both the triumphs and tribulations of its varied characters, offering a microcosm of broader themes relevant to the era. Cohen, an accomplished author and playwright, drew from his own rich cultural experiences as a Southern Jew navigating a complex social milieu to craft a narrative deeply rooted in authenticity and introspection. This personal connection to the rich tapestry of regional life informs his characters, showcasing the interplay between individual desires and societal expectations. His own journey through the intricacies of identity and heritage is palpably woven into the book's structure and character development. Recommended for readers who appreciate profound character studies and historical context, "Midnight" provides a compelling glimpse into the human condition. Cohen's masterful prose and poignant insights invite readers to reflect on their own lives and the inescapable influence of the past, making this novel a timeless addition to the canon of American literature.

    This is a thriller which traces the history of the Stevens family from 1916 to 2020, covering four generations. What is so unusual about this family is that they are all special intelligence operatives and serve in an ultra-secret unit answering to senior military officers appointed directly by the King. In each generation, the eldest son is selected to carry on the tradition when he reaches the age of 21 years.The operatives are highly-trained as intelligence agents, and their role is to act as judge, jury and executioner of the targets selected. The targets are men and women who have been engaged in treasonous activities or conducting espionage for a foreign power, but the agent has been given the discretion to satisfy himself that the charges are justified before he executes the offender.

    "Silver Blaze", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "Silver Blaze" 13th in a list of his 19 favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
    Sherlock Holmes and his partner Dr. Watson travel by train to Dartmoor to investigate a crime of disappearance of the great race horse Silver Blaze and the murder of the horse's trainer, John Straker. Holmes and Watson arrive at King's Pyland, from which Silver Blaze is missing. Fitzroy Simpson has come to Dartmoor (and specifically to King's Pyland) to gather information relating to his professional activities, and has become a suspect in the murder. However, to Holmes, from the outset, there seem to be a number of facts that do not fit the inspector's case against Simpson, damning as it looks. It seems odd, for instance, that he would lead the horse out on to the moor simply to injure or kill him. That could be done right in his stall. He could not have stolen the animal. What good would such a famous thoroughbred be to him? Why has an exhaustive search of the neighbourhood not turned up Silver Blaze? What has Simpson done with him?
