Sleep When You're Dead

A FINANCIAL TIMES 2022 THRILLER OF THE YEAR



In thirty-six hours, thousands of innocent people will die. There's not a second to waste. And no time for sleep...



MICHAEL NORTH: THE PERFECT MI5 ASSET. Ruthless, brave, loyal and, best of all, disposable. The bullet lodged in his brain means he could die at any second.



Now, undercover in a doomsday cult on a remote Scottish island, he has thirty-six hours to stop the mass murder of thousands of people.



But in the world of the indoctrinated, Michael soon realises that everyone is a potential enemy. He's used to his own life hanging by a thread – never before has it come so close to snapping.
