Where can you run in a domed city?

Information Broker Scarlett Cole might have been the best whisper rat in the Chicagoland dome — that is, until someone started disabling her devices.

As she begins to investigate in the shaddy, fog-ridden environment of the underworks, two mysterious figures attack her, and then she running for her life.

What was she doing that they needed stopped? Did she record something they didn’t want heard? And, where can you run to when you are in a domed city?

Whispers in Chicagoland is the first book of the nanodome series–where almost all life is in contained in a series of domed cities, information is at a premium, and everyone has secrets
