Twisted Frequency

Late one cold, dark winter’s night, a fierce wind pushes Pixie Morrow across the empty, icy sidewalk to the front door of a Chicago bookstore. Upstairs, Claire Ruane, bookseller, is half asleep in her office when she abruptly wakes to the certainty that someone significant has just arrived. And darkness will follow.

Life is quiet for Pixie Morrow, 71, in her small ranch home outside Phoenix. Still recovering from caretaking her late husband, Pixie spends her days sleeping late, listening to Tony Bennett on the stereo, taking naps, and missing her husband. When her cousin dies in Chicago, Pixie takes a trip alone for the first time in her life to attend the funeral. Walking back to her hotel on a freezing cold winter’s night, a fierce wind pushes her across the icy sidewalk to the front door of Old Town Used Books.
