The first Kaze no Denwa, also known as the Wind Phone, was an unconnected telephone booth located in Otsuchi, Japan, where grieving family members could come to mourn and speak in one-way conversations to departed loved ones. When Zoe Luna visits a Wind Phone on the Arroyo Park Trail, the impossible happens. She hears her deceased mother’s voice on the other end of the ‘dead’ line pleading with her daughter to help solve her murder.

Afraid to go to the police, she enlists the help of her former English professor, Noah Winter, who reluctantly agrees. As Noah begins to uncover lurid secrets surrounding the murder, he must come to terms with the question that has plagued him from the start: Did the ghost of Zoe’s mother really speak to her daughter from beyond the grave, or was something far more sinister on the other end of that connection?
