I Heard That Song Before by Mary Higgins Clark (PB/GC)

One day, 6-year-old Kay succumbs to curiosity and sneaks into the chapel. There, she overhears a quarrel between a man & a woman who is demanding money from him. When she says that this will be the last time, his caustic response is: "I heard that song before."

That same evening, the Carringtons hold a formal dinner dance after which Peter Carrington, a student at Princeton, drives home Susan Althorp, the 18 year-old daughter of neighbors.

Throughout the years, a cloud of suspicion hangs over Peter Carrington. At age 42, head of the family business empire, he is still "a person of interest" in the eyes of the police, not only for Susan Althorp's disappearance but also for the subsequent drowning death of his own pregnant wife in their swimming pool.

Kay Lansing, now living in New York & working as a librarian in Englewood, goes to see Peter Carrington to ask for permission to hold a cocktail party on his estate to benefit a literacy program, which he later grants. Kay comes to see Peter as maligned & misunderstood & when he begins to court her after the cocktail party, she falls in love with him.

Susan Althorp's mother, Gladys, has always been convinced that Peter is responsible for her daughter's disappearance. Gladys, now terminally ill, has hired a retired New York City detective to try to find out what happened to her daughter. Gladys wants to know before she dies.

Kay, too, has developed gnawing doubts about her husband. She believes that the key to the truth about his guilt or innocence lies in the scene she witnessed as a child. Yet, she plunges into this pursuit realizing that "that knowledge may not be enough to save my husband's life. What Kay does not even remotely suspect is that uncovering what lies behind these memories may cost her her own life.
