But there's a complication. Sam has a dark secret that he just can't allow to surface. And it's soon made clear to him that if he presses on with his quest to find out what happened that terrible night, his secret will be revealed to the world.
Leaving Sam wondering whether it might be better to confess to a crime he's not even certain he committed. Faced with an unimaginable dilemma, Sam begins to wonder: would it be better for everyone if he was guilty?
Filled with shocking secrets and a sinister twist, The Sleepwalker is a gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing to the very end.

I'll start with the prologue.
It shoved me into the seat.
I was horrified when I read the prologue.
A three-month-old baby is missing.
Dad crying.
Unfortunately, my mother was dead.
What happened in this family?
The prologue sounds terrible.
And this is just the beginning...
Tessa is married to Samuel (Sam).
After a miscarriage, she wanted to get pregnant again quickly.
She got paranoid as soon as her period came.
When she became pregnant after some time, she was delighted.
She was happy with the birth of her daughter.
On the other hand, her body was exhausted.
I suspected she had post-partum depression.
The storm of hormones plus irregular sleep give such effects.
It is known that newborns give their parents a hard time in the first weeks of their lives.
We meet Samuel at the worst moment of his life.
He woke up.
His dead wife laying in bed.
His three-month-old daughter has disappeared.
What happened to them?
We learn that Sam suffers from a terrible disease called parasomnia.
This is a group of many different sleep disorders relating to abnormal or undesirable behaviour during sleep.
Parasomnias include night terrors, nightmares, sleepwalking, sleep talking or night paralysis.
Could it be that he killed his wife and took his own daughter away?
Will a hypnotherapist help with this?
Where has baby Cory gone?
You will also meet Linda.
She used to be Sam's girlfriend.
She is a manipulative and mentally ill woman.
She will not back down from anything.
She did everything to make Sam turn his back on his sister Claire.
Not only that, she did everything to cut him off from his friends.
They quarrelled very often.
How did Sam and Linda break up?
I didn't like Linda.
She is a very toxic person.
What happened to her?
I was very scared while reading this book.
I felt sorry for the main character.
I had some suspicions about the culprit.
I knew who the killer was.
I was 99.9% sure who the kidnapper was.
Were my suspicions correct?
You will find out by reading this novel.
It's worth reading.
It draws you in from the first moment.
It grabs you in its claws and doesn't want to let go.
An interesting plot, good action and extraordinary characters make this book flow.
I am shocked after reading it.
A very interesting psychological thriller with a surprising finale.
The perfect story for all thriller lovers.
Do you dare to read it?
Watch as Sam gets to the truth.
Will the truth set him free?
Or would the truth to him further and send him to hell?
I encourage you to read this book.
