The Things They Say You Did
A Psychological Thriller of Reputation, Manipulation, and Losing Control of Your Own StoryBy Derek Ash
Length42m
About this audiobook
What if everyone already believes you’re guilty?
Eli Navarro keeps his head down, counts his steps, and writes things down—because small details are the only things he can trust. But when a threatening message is sent from his phone… and a classmate’s stolen device turns up in his locker… the story starts writing itself.
At first, it’s whispers. Then screenshots. Then evidence.
Drawings appear in Eli’s sketchbook—scenes he doesn’t remember creating. Messages are sent in his name. And the more he tries to prove his innocence, the more he looks exactly like what they’re accusing him of being.
Someone is building a version of Eli the world will believe.
As the truth fractures and the line between memory and manipulation begins to blur, Eli is forced to confront a terrifying possibility:
If you can’t trust your own actions…
how do you prove you didn’t do them?
It's a psychological thriller about reputation, control, and the horrifying power of a story once it’s set in motion.
