Doctor Sleep

Madison Smart Bell is one of the most versatile and gifted authors of his generation, a literaly sylist with few peers. Doctor Sleep, one of is best novels, is a taut and satisfying psychological thriller that is soon to be a major motion picture. Adrian Strother is a hypnotherapist who, paradoxically, can't get to sleep. He plies his trade in a depressed section of London, doing the occasional job for Scotland Yard, which brings him into contact with an unsavory drug trafficker. As tortured wakefulness and surreal sleep, and the gifts of his insomnia are called upon to unlock the secrets of a man who believes he has discovered the key to immortality. Part spiritual pilgrimage, part thriller, Doctor Sleep is witty, menacing, and deeply satisfying, a bravura performance by one of today's fines writers.
