Deadly Sleep: The dark, chilling and addictive psychological thriller from million-copy sensation Valerie Keogh

THE FIRST GRIPPING INSTALMENT IN THE DARK, PARANORMAL CRIME SERIES FROM #1, MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER VALERIE KEOGH!Perfect for fans of John Connolly's Charlie Parker series and Kay Hooper's Evil Trilogy Nicola Connolly is a nurse.

She is also a serial killer.

For fourteen years she has hidden her dark appetite behind a starched uniform and a polite smile, quietly dispensing death to her elderly patients. Her method is untraceable. Her control is absolute.

Until the nightmares begin.

Now, every time Nicola sleeps, she is forced to witness the brutal crimes of another killer - a sadistic monster dubbed "Picasso". Bound by a terrifying psychic connection, Nicola’s meticulously planned life is thrown into a waking hell where she can smell and feel her rival's horrific crimes.

Desperate to stop the nightly visions and regain control of her life, Nicola takes a massive risk: she goes to the police.

Exhausted and burnt out DI Matt Foley and DS Tom Hudson are desperate for a lead, but acting on Nicola’s ‘premonitions’ means opening their minds to something altogether more terrifying… Praise for Valerie Keogh: ‘Keogh is the queen of compelling narratives and twisty plots’ Jenny O’Brien
