THE SLEEPING DOLL

Daniel Pell, convicted of multiple brutal murders, breaks out of jail and escapes into the Monterey Peninsula landscape. Special Agent Kathryn Dance, a methodical investigator and skilled interrogator, is assigned to lead the case. Pell continually frustrates his pursuers by doing the unexpected, staying close to his escape point and leaving a trail of corpses. Narrator Anne Twomey provides a deliberate narration that matches the tempo of the prolonged and bloody investigation. Twomey is particularly skilled at vocalizing emotion--ranging from the arrogance of Pell to the terror of his victims. There are lots of twists as this story races to a surprising conclusion.
