When Riley Crane awakens, she discovers she's covered with blood, has a raging headache and has no memory of recent weeks. Worse than that, she's lost the clairvoyant psychic abilities that have been with her all of her life. There's little to guide her, to give her clues as to the latest case she's working on. Most disturbing of all is the hint that perhaps there's a man in this fiercely independent woman's life.

With minimal assistance from Special Crimes Unit Chief Noah Bishop, Riley learns she's in the small costal town of Opal Island to investigate some strange happenings connected to the occult. Shortly after awakening covered in blood, a decapitated body, obviously a part of a satanic ritual, is discovered, and Riley has to wonder to what extent she's involved in the murder.

When Riley realizes she was attacked and deliberately tasered, she's determined to discover exactly who lured her to Opal Island. A possible kink in her plans comes in the form of Ash Prescott, a former big-city lawyer who's relocated to Opal Island. Though her mind doesn't remember the man, her body certainly does. When Riley discovers she and Ash share a link from the past, and that the past may be coming back to haunt her, she has to struggle with her independent streak to trust a man who might be her lifeline.

Noah Bishop's Special Crimes Unit detectives are back in Hooper's SLEEPING WITH FEAR, a taut, haunting thriller that will capture the reader's interest from the very first sentence! Masterfully blending past with present, readers will be with Riley every step of the way as she struggles through blackouts and taunting memories to stay one step ahead of a killer determined to take her mind.
