About The Sleeping Samaritan: a psychological thriller (Gripping Psychological Crime Thrillers--Standalone Thrillers)

She saves lives for a living. But she never should have saved his. Paramedic Thelma Farr has struggled with extreme sleepwalking for most of her life. She can walk, talk, cook and eat food, or even drive in her sleep - all with no awareness of what she's doing. Five years ago, she woke in her truck at the scene of a horrific trauma. A dark, remote winter road. A man stabbed multiple times, barely conscious and bleeding out. She patched him up. Transfused him with her own blood, so he'd survive long enough to reach the hospital. Then, while she was preparing to transport him, he disappeared into the woods. The next morning, she discovered she'd inadvertently saved the life of the Samaritan Slayer, a serial killer who'd already murdered nine people and was stabbed in pursuit of victim number ten. Thanks to Thelma, he had the strength to go on - and to finish the job. Now, she's living a new life under a new name, completely cut off from everyone and everything she knew. She's spent the last five years looking over her shoulder, waiting for her past to find her again. Knowing it will. When it does, it's in the form of a note in a red envelope, containing the final words the Samaritan Slayer spoke to her before he vanished into the night. Your blood is in my veins. My life is tied to yours. When you die, I'll follow. Shall we die now? *** Unputdownable until the very last page, The Sleeping Samaritan is a twisted, pulse-pounding psychological thriller that's perfect for fans of Harlan Coben, Lucinda Berry, Nicola Sanders, and John Marrs.
