“A haunting dystopian thriller that’s underpinned by a compelling political mystery.”— Kirkus Reviews
“Reads like the long-form lovechild of Asimov and Atwood.”— BlueInk (Starred)

The world ended.
What replaced it was worse.

A woman who lives in a cell and observes her periods of consciousness as awakenings. A world rebuilt on silence and control. A story about the systems that shape us — and the one who resists.

For readers drawn to dystopian mysteries, psychological suspense, and stories about power, memory, and the price of freedom.

The Author

Mike Colapietro

I've spent my career in pursuit of the truth of things.

As co-author of The Man Who Killed Kennedy, my work reached the New York Times bestseller list. My reporting has appeared in the Tampa Bay Times and Yahoo! News. For years I've worked behind the scenes as a ghostwriter — helping others find their words and their voice.

Where Gods Whisper is my third book and my first novel.
