The Slandered Saint

In the rain-soaked streets of Valskog, a nation on the edge of the Arctic, the brutal killing of a young woman becomes a canvas for a sinister media experiment. When a guilt-ridden detective discovers that a media empire is algorithmically reshaping the narrative—turning the cold-blooded killer into a folk hero and smearing the dead victim as a degenerate—he must confront the chilling architecture of manufactured empathy that threatens to devour any notion of objective truth.
