What would you do if you knew the world was going to be destroyed
by a huge asteroid in one month? The mesmerising YA debut from the
winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel 2021 and
the New York Times Bestselling author of We Begin at the End. They
knew the end was coming. They saw it ten years back, when it was
far enough away in space and time and meaning. The changes were
gradual, and then sudden. For Mae and her friends, it means
navigating a life where action and consequence are no longer

petty grudges turn deadlier with each passing day. So, did Abi
Manton jump off the cliff or was she pushed? Her death is just the
beginning of the end. With teachers losing control of their
students and themselves, and the end rushing toward all of them, it
leaves everyone facing the answer to one, simple question... What
would you do if you could get away with anything?

In 1982, two teenagers-serial killer survivor Emma Lewis and US
Marshal candidate Travis Bell-are recruited by the FBI to interview
convicted juvenile killers and provide insight and advice on cold
cases. From the start, Emma and Travis develop a quick friendship,
gaining information from juvenile murderers that even the FBI can't
crack. But when the team is called in to give advice on an active
case-a serial killer who exclusively hunts teenagers-things begin
to unravel. Working against the clock, they must turn to one of the
country's most notorious incarcerated murderers for help: teenage
sociopath Simon Gutmunsson. Despite Travis's objections, Emma
becomes the conduit between Simon and the FBI team. But while Simon
seems to be giving them the information they need to save lives,
he's an expert manipulator playing a very long game...and he has
his sights set on Emma. Captivating, harrowing, and chilling, None
Shall Sleep is an all-too-timely exploration of not only the
monsters that live among us, but also the monsters that live inside
us.
