In Plain Sight

By: Edmund Okocha

Narrated by: Steven Osarczuk

Meet Ebenezer Cosmen. He's a computer programmer and a writer - a middle-of-the-road man with conventional needs and a relaxed attitude towards worldly things. He lives alone with a small cohort of trusted comrades. He wrote a fictional novel about a serial killer that was later imitated by an actual killer. Obviously, he became a little less middle-of-the-road after that. With a bit of luck, the media caught wind of the story, and it ignited a morbid fascination in people. This recognition propelled his book sales to heights he never imagined. He enjoyed the success for over a decade until the killer was captured.

Fans of the fiction labeled Ebenezer as a one-hit-wonder; unknowingly, they dared him to repeat his success. Ebenezer struggled for a while until the oddest-looking pair of FBI agents visited him on an unsuspecting Saturday morning. With an offer to be a consultant for the FBI, Ebenezer would be tracking a new killer with a similar ilk as his creation, but this time, the killer preferred a more famous prey. Now, Ebenezer is burdened with information, two women too beautiful to resist, and colleagues with atypical demeanor. The case will take him in circles until he goes back to where it all started. He will soon discover that there is nowhere left for him to hide...and no one left to trust. Only at his most vulnerable moment will he unfurl the truth that lay in plain sight the entire time.
