Sleeping Beauties

One survivor. Two detectives. Twenty-four hours to catch a killer.

Detective Sergeant Theo Wilde is out of second chances. After a five-month suspension that nearly ended his career, he's been given one last to guard Rachel Raines, the sole survivor and witness to a terrifying serial killer.

Dubbed the ‘sleeping beauty’ by the press, Rachel lies in a coma in hospital, fighting for her life. But as Theo obeys his orders to watch over her, another victim is strangled in broad daylight.

With the body count rising, Theo partners with his former colleague, DC Hannah Colby, and together they begin to identify a pattern in the past – a portrait of a malicious killer, with Rachel lying at the centre of it.

Theo can feel the pressure mounting, but there’s no escape. He must dive headfirst into a deadly game of cat and mouse, where even the thickest of hospital walls can’t keep the killer away.

Perfect for fans of Dept Q and Happy Valley, SLEEPING BEAUTIES is a heart-pounding new detective series narrated by Holliday Grainger (The Capture) and Billy Howle (On Chesil Beach).
