Anna O with delivery to Ireland

Anna Ogilvy has not opened her eyes in four years. Not since the night at the Farm, when she was found in a deep sleep, in blood-stained clothes and with a kitchen knife in her hand, right beside the bodies of her two closest friends. She committed the crime of the century, yet no one is able to wake her from her dream-like nightmare. For Dr Benedict Prince, a forensic psychologist working at a sleep clinic on London's Harley Street, the awakening of Anna O is a case that could make or break his career. As a sleep expert, he knows everything about the darkest recesses of the mind and the secrets hidden in the subconscious. As he begins treating Anna O – examining his patient's dreams, combing through her memories, visiting the place where the tragic events occurred – Dr Prince touches on a far deeper and darker mystery. The awakening of Anna O is not the end of the story, but only its beginning. * Those who believe in her innocence call her Anna O. Those who are convinced of her guilt call her Sleeping Beauty. But neither side can tear their eyes away from her story… EXTRACT 1 – And what if I can't wake her? – I ask. – What if my theory doesn't work? Donnelly finishes buttoning his coat. He sighs, weighed down by the events of the whole day. He looks at me with cold, grey-green eyes. – Then, sooner or later, Anna Ogilvy will be able to kill again – he says drily. EXTRACT 2 The bare facts of Anna O's case are relatively uncomplicated. I suppose that is precisely why her case has stuck in the public's memory. There is something shocking in their stark simplicity. At 3.10 in the morning on 30 August 2019, Anna Ogilvy, the twenty-five-year-old daughter of a shadow cabinet minister and founder of the magazine "Elementary", was found asleep in a cabin on a farm in Oxfordshire with a twenty-centimetre kitchen knife in her hand. In the neighbouring cabin lay the bodies of her closest friends: twenty-six-year-old Douglas Bute and Indira Sharma, aged twenty-five. The post-mortem revealed ten stab wounds on each of the victims. Anna's fingerprints were found on the knife and traces of blood on her clothes. Forensic analysis showed that the stains on her clothes matched the blood of both victims. At the same time, the digital forensics unit found a message in WhatsApp on Anna's phone, sent before she fell into a deep sleep, in which she partly admits her guilt. On the basis of rigor mortis, it was established that death had occurred several hours earlier. Neither of the victims could have been saved; the blows inflicted were fatal. […] The results of all the tests were normal. The woman was alive. Her body was functioning. The mysterious illness causing the deep sleep defied every diagnosis. Since then, Anna O has not opened her eyes.
