Elite assassin and spy-for-hire Michael North returns in the new action thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author Jude O'Reilly.

Michael North is the man you call when there’s nothing left to lose. He executes every mission with determination, skill and a certain amount of flair. There’s just one problem: the bullet lodged in his brain. If it moves, he will die - and so will the mission.

Now North’s been sent to infiltrate a doomsday cult on a remote island off the coast of Scotland to stop the terrorist attack its leader is planning on the mainland. Together with teen hacker FangFang, North must face down the forces of evil on behalf of his country.

Spanning London, Washington and remotest Scotland, Sleep When You’re Dead is an edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-your-mouth action thriller for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci and Scott Mariani.
