Daniel Pell is a contemporary Charles Manson. A petty criminal with a history of antisocial behavior and obsession with controlling other people, he had a group of women living with him in a quasi cult in central California. Eight years ago, he and another man viciously slaughtered a family for no apparent reason, though the three women in his 'Family' were absolved of any part in the deaths. Now, present day, Pell has escaped and Kathryn Dance, the famed interrogator and kinesic analyst (body language) and her team, must find out where he is and why he's staying near the prison he escaped from. She brings together the three women, now leading normal lives, to help her find out where Pell is and what he's up to. Pell, for his part, and a young woman he has manipulated to help him, tries to outguess the police and fulfill his mission, as he learns that Kathryn Dance is perhaps his most dangerous opponent. This is a typical cat and mouse Deaver novel, in which conflicts abound--finding the killer, as well as reconciling the emotions within Pell's three 'Family' members, which have simmered over the years.The 'Sleeping Doll' refers to the one surviving daughter of the original murder eight years ago--a nickname because she was asleep with her toys and not seen by the killer. Dance has to find her and see what she call her about the night of the killings. Nothing is quite what it seems to be ...

Very fast-paced, twists and turns all through it and a surprise in the end, but I'm not telling you what. Great characters, very believable. I had never read anything by Jeffery Deaver before, but I was intrigued by some reviews I had read. Now I will read him again.

Excellent Read
This is an absolutely terrific book. It's not only a mystery, but also the story of a family and how the simplist action, or inaction, can change lives forever.
It's fast paced and will keep you guessing until the very end. Characters are extremely well-developed and believable.
Jeffery Deaver proves once again why he is a best-selling author.
