Anna O

"Anna Ogilvy is a budding twenty-five-year-old writer with a bright future. Then, one night, as she is fast asleep and with no apparent motive, she stabs two people to death--and she has yet to wake up. Anna, now dubbed "Sleeping Beauty" by the tabloids, has a rare psychosomatic disorder known as resignation syndrome. Dr. Benedict Prince is a forensic psychologist and an expert in the field of sleep-related homicides. His methods are the last hope of bringing Anna back to consciousness so she can stand trial and solving the infamous "Anna O" case. But he must be careful treating such a high-profile suspect--he's got career secrets and a complicated personal life of his own. As Anna shows the first signs of stirring, Benedict must determine what really happened and whether she should be held responsible for her crimes."--Page 4 of cover.
