6-6-o - Paperback

by Michael Munro (Author)

(six-six-oh) Sometimes things go straight to hell. Set in a present day former coal town on Canada's west coast 6-6-o witnesses the rough lives and deaths of men and women cursed not only by their choices but by their proximity to a simple streetlight. It begins simply enough with the story of Davey and Bert in the 1950's. Two men set with the unfortunate task of installing power poles in the quickly developing farmland known locally as Seven Acres. In modern times a light with an unfortunate mark graces a tired neighbourhood, illuminating some of the worst acts of people living under it and flickering dark when things get really bad. A very dark, gritty and rough ride.
