Suspense | Thriller

In SLEEP NO MORE Eve Duncan has been haunted with feelings that someone close to her needs help. Sandra, her mother asks her to help find a woman missing from a mental hospital. She doesn't understand why her mother wants to find the missing Beth Avery, until the truth finally comes out. Beth is Eve's half sister, her older sister. Sandra gave up Beth to the father's family, the influential Avery's whose son Richard, the twenty year old father, was going to some day be the president. They paid off Sandra's mother, took the baby and gave her to cousins to raise. When Beth was 17 she was in a skiing accident that left her with brain damage. She was sent to the mental hospital and has been there since. Now she is missing and Sandra wants Eve to find her. Beth having been helped by a compassionate orderly, who believed that she is being kept doped up for no reason, is found. But the mystery does not end with her being found safe and sound. There are too many questions unanswered. Why was Beth in the hospital for so long? She seems quite normal if not a little backward. And why are people trying to find her and send her back using violent means? What do the doctors and staff of the hospital have to hide? And what about Beth's father and grandparents? Were they going to help her or are they the problem in the first place? SLEEP NO MORE is spellbinding, giving you no choice but to keep going with the tempting flow of action and drama. It has all the intrigue of the past Eve Duncan books and adds the emotional twist of a long lost sister taking it deeper. For those who worried that Eve Duncan would end with the finding of Bonnie they need not have worried... Eve is nowhere near done.
