Anna O by Matthew Blake. Exclusive Interivew

Anna O by Mathew Blake is the wholly original story of a young woman who seemingly commits a double murder while sleepwalking (and then never opens her eyes again), and the forensic psychiatrist who alone can get to the truth.

The much-anticipated debut novel is a standalone masterpiece of suspense, intrigue and mystery which generated buzz among publishers even before it was bought in a feverish auction prompting a rights frenzy with a record-breaking 16 international offers within 48 hours of submission.

It resulted from extensive research by the author into the rare psychosomatic disorder known to neurologists as "resignation syndrome" (first reported in the late 1990s) and is inspired by real-life cases of people who commit crimes while sleepwalking, fall into a deep sleep and never wake up.

Sleep is the one genuinely universal human experience. The average person spends 33 years of their life asleep. It is a second life, a world we know little about. What might you have done while you were asleep?

Matthew Blake is a London-based author who has also worked as a screenwriter with the BBC, ITV Studios, and numerous other UK indies.
