Stuart Archer Cohen (born October 29, 1958) is an American author and businessman who has written four works of fiction: Invisible World, 17 Stone Angels, The Army of the Republic, and This Is How It Really Sounds.
On the publication of Invisible World, encouraged by two-book contracts in the United States and Germany, Cohen closed his store to devote himself to writing.
He spent three years writing The Book of Rumor, a novel set in Juneau, Alaska, about a long-ago mine strike, a homeless Tlingit man, and strange messages that appear in the newspaper attacking the leading citizen of the town.
Facing an increasingly dire financial situation, Cohen went to Buenos Aires to research petty criminals and corrupt police, and quickly wrote 17 Stone Angels, (Orion, 2003) about a corrupt police chief in Buenos Aires who is assigned to investigate a murder he committed.
[3][4][5] In April 2015, Cohen published his fourth novel This Is How It Really Sounds (St. Martin's Press), a novel about skiing, rock 'n roll, malignant high finance, espionage, and three men who share the same name.
