About this book
The Sleeping and the Dead, published in 2001, is one of two standalone novels Ann Cleeves wrote between finishing her Inspector Ramsay series and starting Vera Stanhope, a 336-page mystery that unearths a decades-old drowning during the routine drainage of a lake; it's generally the better-known and more highly regarded of her two standalones.

About Ann Cleeves
Ann Cleeves is an English crime writer whose atmospheric, character-driven procedurals are rooted in remote, weather-beaten landscapes she has often lived in herself. Early jobs cooking at a Fair Isle bird observatory and, later, years spent on the tidal, no-electricity Hilbre Island fed directly into her fiction. See every Ann Cleeves book in order.
