Synopsis

THREE MILLION PEOPLE UPLOAD THEIR DREAMS EVERY NIGHT. ONE MAN IS COLLECTING THEM. When Detective Callum Rourke is summoned to a Portland riverbank before dawn, what he finds defies explanation. A young woman arranged with unsettling precision - eyes closed, arms crossed, still as sleep itself. No signs of struggle. No clear cause of death. Only a missing fitness tracker and a single thread of data connecting her to one app: DreamSync. Three million users. Every night, they surrender their most private hours to an algorithm - biometric rhythms, eye movements, the intimate whispers of the unconscious mind. The app promises to optimize their rest. Someone is optimizing something else entirely. As Rourke and his partner Detective Priya Osei follow the data trail, they uncover a pattern that should be statistically impossible - victims with nothing in common except the app living on their phones, and a killer who has been living inside their sleep for eleven months. Patient. Precise. And completely invisible. He doesn't force his way in. He waits for you to close your eyes. A relentlessly paced psychological thriller about privacy, obsession, and the terrifying intimacy of the digital age - The Sleep Collector asks what we truly surrender when we hand our inner world to a machine, and who might be waiting on the other side. Perfect for fans of: I Am Pilgrim · The Silent Patient · You · The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

À propos de l'auteur

Abdullah Al-Baghdadi is an Egyptian novelist and storyteller, born in Cairo in the early 1990s. He grew up steeped in the golden age of Arabic literature - shaped by the poetry of Ahmad Shawqi, the sharp intellect of Abbas Al-Aqqad, and the timeless prose of Naguib Mahfouz.

Yet perhaps the closest literary thread runs through his own blood: the celebrated Egyptian poet Dr. Farouk Shousha - a relative whose love of language and the Arabic word left an indelible mark on Abdullah's voice as a writer.

He writes from Cairo, carrying the weight of a rich literary inheritance - and the quiet ambition to add his own chapter to it.
