Book 45: Sleepwalk by John Saul

A fairly generic thriller/suspense by one of the genres main guys. A young teacher returns to her small town to find weird things going on with the population. The kids are acting like zombies and the troublemaker adults are dying of strokes. She teams up with the half Indian son of one of the stroke victims and figures out the cause. It was set in an interesting location - the American Southwest. Sop the whole town is fairly isolated and the kids feel like it is the worst place ever. It is everyone's goal to escape when they graduate but most of them know they'll end up working at the same refinery that their parents are at. This one took me a while to get through. I kept putting it down and picking up other things to read instead. But I did finish it and the finale was good in its own way.
