Sleepwalker
Night after night, beautiful young women are murdered in the city of Memphis, home of the blues. The police have no clues and it all comes down to Detective Renee Juliard, a tough, gritty woman not very well liked among her colleagues, to save the city from the fear that continues to build like an enraged hurricane.
Tim Seale, a happily-married newspaper editor, is having trouble sleeping. Morning after morning, however, he awakes with his clothing damaged and sometimes even blood on his hands. As he begins his own, private investigation, he learns things he wish he hadn’t.
Because…When Tim Seale closes his eyes, Evil awakes.

The story of Sleepwalker by Keith Latch develops around a series of particularly brutal murders, committed in the city of Memphis. The plot is not easily predictable, which makes the book rather interesting. The reader really wants to find out what happened next. The whole story generally makes sense, which cannot be said about some of the novels of this genre.
Sleepwalker contains scenes of graphic violence, which I found extreme even for a horror. In particular there is a scene in which the authors describes, in medical terms and with great detail, mutilation of a young woman by a sadistic killer. This and other scenes go way beyond what was justified by the plot and almost made me stop listening to this book.
All in all it's an adequate piece of writing, but I personally didn't enjoy it. However, if you are a fan of the genre and are not disturbed by extreme violence, this book may suit your taste.

I only finished this book because it was so short...
I had read another work by this author and liked it enough to try another. I wish I had stopped while the going was good. Firstly the editing, if there was any, was sloppy to the point it detracted from the story, what little there was. Some of the descriptions of the scenery of the book were actually vivid and prosaic, the book's only saving grace. Characters were forgettable and most of their actions made no sense. I don't like to criticize something someone might have worked hard on, but I would suggest picking up something else. I would say this was my least favorite book of the year, but there have been others so bad that I couldn't even finish them. The other pro about this book was that it is short, so my torture ended quickly.

A story about a vicious, sadistic serial killer. Sadly the author's fluency with the english language leaves a lot to be desired, and there are some remarkably awful similes.

Good premise however the plot plods along and none if the characters are worth rooting for.
