Manufactured Accident

In the rain-slicked streets of Veridia, insurance investigator Evan Shore examines a fatal car wreck that seems too perfect to be random. As he uncovers a web of staged deaths and fraudulent claims, a series of near-fatal “accidents” begin to dismantle his sanity. The deeper truth is far more terrifying: his own mentor, Marcus Hale, is systematically stripping away his capacity to trust his own judgment. In the cold, repetitive cadence of Liu Zhenyun, the novel reveals that psychological manipulation is not about lies—it is about the complete deprivation of a person’s will to exist as an independent being.
