The most dangerous lie is the one everyone agrees to believe. Mara Tucker is a CIA handler trained to control chaos-filtering truth, managing assets, and shaping outcomes in the shadows of an escalating information war, where the speed of information exceeds the speed of verification. But when a routine courier alert collides with fragments of her own past, the systems she relies on begin to fracture. Records don't align. Memories feel edited. And reality itself starts behaving like something under active management. As paranoia tightens its grip, Mara uncovers signs of a top-secret program quietly pulling the strings, deciding what people believe-and who they trust. In a world where perception is weaponized and loyalty can be rewritten, The Handler's Mirror is a chilling psychological thriller about control, identity, and the terrifying moment you realize you were never meant to see the truth-only carry a lie.
