What if everything you believed about your life turned out to be a lie? In A Victim of Circumstance, Roy, a once-successful writer battling chronic pain and addiction, finds his world spiraling into chaos after one terrifying night. Hallucinations take hold, time fractures, and reality becomes a puzzle he can’t solve. When his wife, declared dead for over a year, suddenly reappears, and his inheritance vanishes without explanation, Roy must confront the possibility that he’s either losing his mind or uncovering a deeper truth. Inspired by real-life challenges and the complexities of human psychology, Jack Whalen delivers a suspenseful journey through addiction, betrayal, and the terrifying power of the mind.
