Alone in a strange city...a strange house, a strange bed.
Awake in the fear-drenched summer night, sleepless, tormented by the message of menace that came over the telephone.
Afraid, she lay in an invalid's bed, unable to take one step to save her life. Only the telephone could help, and she spun the black and red figures endlessly around and around the dial. She called everyone she knew in the strange city, but none would come - and in the end she would have to face murder.
Alone.
