Description

Veracity Syndrome is a tense, mind-bending blend of psychological thriller and science fiction mystery, perfect for readers who enjoy high-concept plots like Minority Report or The Silent Patient.

THEY PROMISED US A WORLD WITHOUT LIES. THEY NEVER PROMISED WE WOULD SURVIVE IT.

After the Veracity Syndrome made deception a fatal allergy, society rebuilt itself on a foundation of brutal honesty. With every falsehood now a potential death sentence, the world is safe—but painfully truthful.

Elian Vance is a rare and invaluable relic in this new world: a Synesthete who can literally taste lies. His latest case is his most dangerous: a shocking murder at the Asclepius Sanctuary, a cutting-edge asylum for those driven mad by the crushing weight of uncompromising truth.

The victim is the facility’s renowned director. The suspects are his patients, whose conditions force them to be perfectly, painfully truthful.

The Problem? The Sanctuary’s bio-monitors and security systems—all-seeing, all-knowing—confirm that none of them are lying.
