Synopsis

‘A superb evocation of what trying to track down terrorists is really like’ Daily MailCo-written by the new commissioner of the Met Police, The Sleep of Reason is a tense and compelling thriller about toxic politics and the radicalisation of young men.

A brutal massacre at a theme park leaves eight dead and triggers a wave of extremist violence across Britain.

On the trail of the killer is Detective Superintendent SOPHIE GABRIEL, who must confront her past as she races to stop rival Islamist and neo-Nazi terror groups bringing a deadly campaign of violence to Britain’s streets.
