The year is 1915 -- not the most popular year in which to set a crime novel to be sure -- but the year is really unimportant except to make the events that occur in Fright even more shocking than they would have been in 1950 when it was first published under the pseudonym George Hopley.

Preston Marshall is a lucky man. He has a job on Wall Street and a lovely fiancee but a single drunken night leads to an event that one week later -- the week after the sinking of the Lusitania in fact though the two occurrences are not otherwise connected -- begins his downward spiral into a life where every minute is filled with ... wait for it! ... Fright.
