FAIRY TALE KILLEROnce Upon a Nightmare...

In the misty shores of Portland, where fairy tales turn into nightmares, Detective Emily Blake faces her darkest case yet. Twenty years after her father's mysterious death while pursuing the infamous "Sleeping Beauty Killer," the murderer has returned-with a haunting message just for her.
When young women begin appearing throughout the city, posed like fairy tale princesses in their eternal sleep, Emily realizes this is more than just a copycat. Each crime scene is a masterpiece of macabre artistry, complete with vintage phonographs playing eerie lullabies and roses that never wilt. But it's the hidden message in an old fairy tale book that chills her to the bone: "The story isn't over yet, little princess."
As Emily delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers a web of secrets that reaches back two decades. With the help of a mysterious psychology professor who holds the key to her father's last case, and a relentless journalist who seems to know too much, Emily races against time to solve the puzzle. But in this twisted game of cat and mouse, every clue leads to more questions, and every answer comes with a price.
What is the connection between these sleeping beauties and her father's death? Why has the killer chosen to return now? And most importantly, who can she trust when everyone seems to be harboring dark secrets of their own?
"The Sleeping Beauties" is a heart-pounding psychological thriller that weaves together past and present, fairy tales and nightmares, in a story of obsession, revenge, and the prices we pay for uncovering the truth. Perfect for fans of "The Silence of the Lambs" and "The Bone Collector," this gripping tale will keep you guessing until the very last page.
