Tess has just been forced to move to Tucson from Los Angeles against her will because her father works for the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. She feels out of place and wants to go home as she listens to coyotes howl at night. Somebody else evidently agrees. She picks up the phone. A voice that won’t identify itself calls her California and tells her he sees everything she is doing in the room. He warns Tess that she had better get out of town or he will murder her. Talk about homesickness and feeling unwelcome! Tess had better figure out who isn’t the good neighbor, or she could soon be dead.
