Dive into a gripping psychological thriller that will keep you turning pages. Anna O by Matthew Blake is a hardback debut exploring sleepwalking and murder. This British author crafts a twisty mystery perfect for fans of Lee Child and David Baldacci.
ANNA O HASN'T OPENED HER EYES FOR FOUR YEARS
Not since the night she was found in a deep sleep by the bodies of her best friends, suspected of a chilling double murder.
For Doctor Benedict Prince, a forensic psychologist on London's Harley Street, waking Anna O could be career-defining. As an expert in sleep, he knows all about the darkest chambers of the mind; the secrets that lie buried in the subconscious.
As he begins Anna O's treatment - studying his patient's dreams, combing her memories, visiting the site where the horrors played out - he pulls on the thread of a much deeper, darker mystery.
Awakening Anna O isn't the end of the story, it's just the beginning.
After discovering that the average person spends thirty-three years of their life asleep, MATTHEW BLAKE felt the pull of a story. He began extensive research into sleep-related crimes and into the mystery illness known as resignation syndrome, research that sparked a thrilling question: if someone commits murder while sleepwalking, are they innocent or guilty? And so his novel Anna O was born.
Before writing fiction, Matthew worked as a researcher and speechwriter at the Palace of Westminster. He studied English at Durham University and Merton College, Oxford.
