Thirty-six hours. One island. Thousands of lives at stake.

Michael North is the kind of operative MI5 uses 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 will leave thousands dead. Cut off from backup and surrounded by true believers, North has no margin for error – and no time to sleep.

But as paranoia tightens its grip and loyalties fracture, every second brings North further from stopping the atrocity… and closer to his own violent end.

Sleep When You’re Dead is a full-throttle action thriller where the clock is ticking, the body count is rising, and survival is never guaranteed. Perfect for fans of the explosive action and morally complex heroes of David Baldacci, Lee Child, Stephen Leather and Mark Dawson.
