Sleepless straddles hard-boiled, noir, sci fi, and horror effortlessly. A prion disease that resembles fatal familial insomnia has spread around the world. There are parallel stories of a Hank Reacher like character and an all-too-human young cop trying to make some progress against the inevitable.A great book, and once again the epidemiology is flawless.
I already know Huston as a great novelist with an amazing range - all of it dark. I was least impressed with his vampire novels, although "Half the Blood in Brooklyn" is a great title. This book was thrilling and I can't wait to read what comes next.
