Sleepwalker by Wendy Corsi Staub

Book two of Wendy Corsi Staub’s new suspense trilogy opens ten years after the first, on the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks on New York City. Heroine Allison is now married to her former across-the-hall neighbor, Mack, who also happens to be the only other witness to the Nightwatcher serial killer murders a decade ago. Living in their suburban dream house with three children, Allison and Mack are still haunted by the murders, and relieved to learn that the Nightwatcher has just committed suicide in prison. But soon a copycat killer is on the loose in their safe little town–even as Mack’s lifelong insomnia evolves into bouts with sleepwalking and amnesia. Suspicions mount with the body count, and Allison begins to doubt her husband.
