A witness can tell the truth and still be mistaken. An anonymous source can reveal genuine evidence while manipulating what investigators believe it means.From Sofia into the mountains of Northwestern Bulgaria, Mercer follows a mystery in which every new discovery makes one question increasingly dangerous: Who is searching for the truth-and who is constructing it?A psychological investigative thriller about evidence, obsession, digital archives, unanswered deaths and the dangerous distance between fact and interpretation.Important note: The novel distinguishes documented public information from fictional storytelling.
