The Geometry of Rust

In the iron-gray industrial town of Verrières-sur-Lac, a brilliant logistician named Julian Arkady conceives a perfect, untraceable murder as an intellectual exercise to expose the hypocrisy of the New Order. By manipulating corporate safety protocols and exploiting the rigid legalism of the ruling elite, he eliminates a former rival. Yet, as the cold perfection of his logic traps an innocent scapegoat and elevates him in the machinery of power, Julian discovers that his calculated triumph becomes a private hell, a slow, Stendhalian dissection of a soul consumed by the arrogance of its own design.
