Peter Duluth turned to drink after his wife''s untimely death; now, two years later and desperate to dry out, he enters a sanitorium, hoping to turn his life around. But he doesn''t quite get the calm relaxation he expected. Strange, malevolent occurrences plague the hospital - and Peter hears his own voice crying out the warning ''There will be murder.''

With a murderer is on the loose, and the staff every bit as erratic as the idiosyncratic patients, everyone is a suspect - including Peter, who is desperate to clear his name before the killer strikes again.
