Let the Devil Sleep




The latest puzzle masterpiece from the internationally bestselling author of Think of a Number and Shut Your Eyes Tight

Ten years ago a serial killer went quiet - now he's back.

Dave Gurney, a retired NYPD homicide detective, agrees to meet a young woman making a documentary on The Good Shepherd. A decade ago a series of roadside shootings made The Good Shepherd killer headline news. But then the killings stopped, and nobody could say for sure why.

Finding himself drawn back into the case, Gurney soon discovers new facts the original investigation missed and literally stakes his life on finding The Good Shepherd. He makes himself a target so that the killer will come for him.
