The Slashed Truth

In the fog-shrouded city of New Bristol, a fatal police shooting ignites a firestorm. When a media titan weaponizes algorithms to transform the killer into a national hero and bury the victim's identity under a digital avalanche of lies, retired logician and amateur sleuth Arthur Quinn is drawn into a labyrinth of fabricated footage and synthetic sympathy. As Quinn dissects the narrative with surgical precision, he discovers that the most dangerous weapon is not a gun, but a trending hashtag.
