About the Book

What if everything you believed about your life turned out to be a lie? In A Victim of Circumstance, that question becomes a chilling reality as one man’s world unravels, forcing him to question everything he sees, hears and remembers. It follows Roy, a once-successful writer battling chronic pain and addiction, whose world spirals into chaos after one terrifying night. What starts as a simple routine shatters when hallucinations take hold, time fractures, and reality itself becomes a puzzle he can’t solve.

As Roy struggles to make sense of his experiences, his past comes back to haunt him. His wife, Rachael, declared dead for over a year, suddenly reappears. His inheritance vanishes without explanation. And then there’s the crime—the one he’s certain he witnessed but can’t prove. Is Roy losing his mind, or is he the only one who sees the truth? Trapped in a web of deception, corruption, and manipulation, he must uncover what really happened before it’s too late.

Inspired by real-life challenges and the complexities of human psychology, A Victim of Circumstance is a suspenseful journey through addiction, betrayal, and the terrifying power of the mind. With twists that keep readers guessing and a story that lingers long after the last page, Jack Whalen delivers a novel that challenges what we think we know about memory, perception, and reality itself.
