DIAL "D" FOR DEATH

A fresh and innocent girl just of the farm answers the ringing phone in a New York subway station...

A harried corporate executive picks up the phone in his private office...

A voluptuous young woman pushes aside her lover for the night as she answers the phone at her bedside...

A brutish taxi driver takes a call in his rundown flat...

And instant death---as a lethal electric charge comes hurtling through the receiver.

Crusading consumer advocate Nate Bridger refuses to believe the chain of coincidences or the answers he is given. He pursues the facts behind the telephone company cover-up and police procedures to discover the awesome, blood-chilling truth. Impossible, they had told him. Impossible, you may tell yourself. But is it?  See what happens to your nerves WHEN THE PHONE RINGS...
