Thirty-six hours. One remote Scottish island. Thousands of lives at stake.
Michael North is who MI5 calls when failure isn't an option. He's ruthless, loyal, and - to them - expendable. Now North's been sent undercover inside a doomsday cult on a remote Scottish island.
In thirty-six hours, the cult will unleash a mass killing that is certain to leave thousands dead. Cut off from backup and surrounded by true believers, North has no margin for error - and no time to sleep. As paranoia tightens its grip and loyalties fracture, every second brings North closer to his own violent end and the death of innocents everywhere.
The clock is ticking. The body count is rising. Survival is a luxury...
A Financial Times Book of the Year, Sleep When You're Dead is perfect for fans of the explosive action and morally complex heroes of David Baldacci, Lee Child, Stephen Leather and Mark Dawson.
