Now, with NIGHT NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT (William Morrow, on sale March 24, 2015, ISBN: 9780062117632, $26.99), Ephron delivers her most captivating mystery yet, tinged with Hollywood glamour and set in a town where fame and infamy are often interchangeable. Los Angeles 1985: Deirdre Unger makes the drive from San Diego to Beverly Hills to help her screenwriter father put his dilapidated house on the market. She is expecting to deal with his usual kvetching and dark moods, but she gets a lot more than she expected... In a cruel Sunset Boulevard-‐ian twist, Deirdre arrives home to find her father face down in his too-‐small swimming pool -‐-‐ dead. At first, Deirdre assumes her father’s death was a tragic accident. But the longer she stays in town the more Deirdre begins to suspect that this is merely the third act in a story that has long been in the making. The sudden re-‐surfacing of Deirdre’s childhood BFF Joelen Nichol -‐-‐ daughter of the famous and infamous Elenor “Bunny” Nichol -‐-‐ seems like more than a coincidence. Back in 1963, Joelen confessed to killing her movie star mother’s boyfriend. It just so happens that Deidre was at the Nichols’ house the night of the murder, which was also the night she suffered her own personal tragedy. Could all of these events be connected? As Deirdre struggles to uncover the truth about the past, she is forced to confront a truth that she has long not wanted to believe. Set in both the 1960’s and 1980’s with the bright lights of Hollywood shining in the background, NIGHT NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT looks beyond the glitz and glamour to uncover well buried secrets of what goes on behind the scenes in Tinsel Town. ### About the Author: Hallie Ephron is the New York Times bestselling author of Never Tell a Lie, Come and Find Me, and There Was an Old Woman.
