Where
Gods
Whisper

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.

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.
