What happens
Eric Strange, a writer of books on human fear, visits Leland Rogers, head of Rogers International Research, at his Park Central Hotel suite to settle a business matter. He finds Rogers terrified after receiving strange written messages in his notebook and a threatening telephone call. Rogers reluctantly reveals his fears, and Strange agrees to act as his bodyguard for the evening. Rogers goes off to shower, leaving Strange alone in his suite, where a visitor arrives. This episode of the Suspense radio series, first broadcast on May 1, 1948, stars Edmund O'Brien and is based on a play by Lois Eby and John C. Fleming.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
