Night Night, Sleep Tight

Los Angeles, 1986: When Deirdre Unger arrives in Beverly Hills to help her bitter, disappointed father sell his dilapidated house, she discovers his lifeless body floating face down in the swimming pool. At first Deirdre assumes her father's death was a tragic accident. But the longer she stays in town, the more she suspects it is merely the third act in a story that has long been in the making.

The sudden resurfacing of Deirdre's childhood best friend, Joelen Nichol - daughter of the legendary star Elenor "Bunny" Nichol - seems like more than a coincidence. Back in 1958, Joelen confessed to killing her movie-star mother's boyfriend. Deirdre happened to be at the Nichols' house the night of the murder - which was also the night she suffered a personal tragedy of her own. Could all of these events be connected?

"Night Night, Sleep Tight is Hallie Ephron at her very best, a layered, page-turning mystery that recalls the glamour of Old Hollywood and a generation of Beverly Hills kids who grew up in its shadow." - William Landay
