Marla, an unmarried woman in her sixties, finally gets her hands on the library’s copy of Echoes of the Dead after being on the wait list for weeks. When she opens the book, a scrap of paper falls out. And while she’s found some amazing things in library books, nothing ever like this. There’s a note with a phone number, no area code, and the two short sentences, “Call me. It’s time.” Marla is intrigued and weighs her options by talking to her pet budgie, Huey. Should she call the phone number on the note? It could be from someone who needs help. Then again, it could be from a serial killer! Her curiosity is overwhelming. She makes the call. What happens next in does not match any of the outcomes she’d imagined!
