Jeffery Deaver’s The Sleeping Doll is out in hardback at 23.50 euros.
Special agent Kathryn Dance is both a brilliant interrogator and body language expert and, in this novel, she and her partners at the California Bureau of Investigation hunt down escaped killer Daniel Pell, a self-styled Charles Manson.
Deaver’s most frightening villain to date, Pell is a master of control, who mesmerises, seduces and exploits people for his own murderous ends. To track down Pell before he destroys more lives, Kathryn Dance must enlist the help of people from the killer’s past: the three women who lived under his sadistic sway in the cult he once headed, as well as the young girl known as The Sleeping Doll, the only survivor of her family’s slaughter at Pell’s hand.
Jeffery Deaver creates plots with so many twists and turns they could “hide behind a spiral staircase” (People), and The Sleeping Doll has Deaver’s trademark twists in spades. It is guaranteed to keep readers guessing right up to the breathless end.
