The Sound of a Second - A. R. Bearcluff

. .

Résumé :
Scandinavian expatriate Gunnar Ahlgren had been content to lead a lonely but accomplished life in familiar London. Blinded by a cruel practical joke as a teenager, the 35-year old Brit overcame his disability thanks to his keenly honed hearing, becoming a top sound engineer working with famous musicians. Love and friendship alluded him though, as a string of paramours only felt sympathy instead of admiration and his job kept him busy from all but his sister and father. Yet, just when his sister stopped her incessant failed matchmaking attempts and he finally found peace over the death of his mother, Gunnar was forced to accept a paranormal gift that put his life into hyperdrive. In Scandanavian folklore, a Vardoger is a doppleganger that exists in time a few moments before the real self, and seeing one's Vardoger is considered a harbinger of doom. Believing he has had contact with his Vardoger and somehow survived due to not being able to physically see his double, Gunnar saves himself from a falling billboard, saves his sister from a kitchen accident, saves a rock star from committing suicide, and saves Roxanne, a girl about to murdered, with whom he feels an instant connection. There is a good reason for that connection&mdash...
