The Peacock Prophecy

Stephen Moorehouse has finished his first year of art school back east and is excited about returning to his Uncle Phillip's estate in northern Michigan. When he finally arrives, Jeanette, his uncle's beautiful assistant, and the woman he has waited all year to see, is busy catering to a house filled with Hollywood people. Everyone is celebrating Phillip Kahle's return to producing, after the shocking murder of his girlfriend the year before. Stephen's hoping for some quiet time with his uncle and Jeanette when they make a visit to picturesque Mackinac Island. At first, the Victorian homes and horse drawn carriages provide a much calmer backdrop from the party scene back at the mansion, but as they check into the Peacock Inn, their vacation starts down a very different path. Exploiting his grandfather's fame as a world renowned spiritualist, the brooding Edward Van Dyke has turned an aging Victorian mansion into the new "must stay" spot on the island. His nightly séances have become the talk of the town, but recently they have evolved into something much darker. When Stephen encounters a person from Jeanette's past, the dim corridors of the Peacock Inn turn deadly and provide the final answer to The Peacock Prophecy.
