The Ghost Network: A Novel

Has the world€s hottest pop star been kidnapped, joined a secret sect, or simply gone into hiding? The answer lies in the abandoned subway stations of Chicago . . .
 
One minute insanely famous pop singer Molly Metropolis is on her way to a major performance in Chicago, and the next, she€s gone.
 
A journalist who€s been covering Molly joins the singer's personal assistant in an increasingly desperate search to find her, guided by a journal left behind in her hotel room, and possible clues hidden in her songs€"all of which seem to point to an abandoned line in the Chicago subway system.
 
It leads them to a map of half-completed train lines underneath Chicago, which in turn leads them to the secret, subterranean headquarters of an obscure intellectual sect€"and the realization that they€ve gone too far to turn back. And if a superstar can disappear without a trace . . . what can happen to these young women?
 
Suspenseful and wildly original, The Ghost Network is a novel about larger-than-life fantasies€"of love, sex, pop music, amateur detective work, and personal reinvention. Debut novelist Catie Disabato bursts on the scene with an ingeniously plotted, witty, haunting mystery.
