When Kay Lansing marries wealthy widower Peter Carrington, she is
well aware of the rumours surrounding the mysterious death of Peter's first wife
Grace, who was found floating in the family pool ten years ago, pregnant at the
time. Kay also discovers that Peter is a chronic sleepwalker who suffers from
periodic nightmares.
When the police arrive at her doorstep with a warrant for Peter's
arrest in connection with another murder - that of a woman Peter had escorted to
a high school senior prom twenty-two years ago - Kay begins to fear that she has
married a sleepwalking murderer, and she resolves to find out the truth behind
the puzzling deaths. But are the two deaths linked? And why does a melody that
Kay cannot identify keep playing in her head every time she approaches the
family chapel?
