The Unquiet Sleeper by Norman Russell

Norman Russell's latest outing for Detective Inspector Saul Jackson and his Sergeant Herbert Bottomley has an unusual and original theme. Ursula Holt is a somnambulist and has been sentenced to six months in a mental institution found guilty of mutilating sheep and killing a sheepdog during one of her nocturnal walks. Could she also be guilty of two murders of young men in the district? Detective Inspector Jackson and Sergeant Bottomley, two of the most sympathetic police characters in detective fiction, find their investigation taking them far from their native Warwickshire as they track down a clever and resourceful villain.
