Summary "The Shrieking Pit" by Arthur J. Rees is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of World War I and introduces the character of Grant Colwyn, an American detective, as he navigates a series of peculiar and disturbing events, beginning with a mysterious young man, Ronald, who exhibits alarming behavior at a seaside hotel and is soon implicated in a murder. At the start of the novel, Colwyn, while enjoying a meal at the Grand Hotel in Durrington, observes Ronald's erratic conduct during breakfast. Colwyn suspects that Ronald is suffering from shell-shock due to his war experiences, but his condition escalates to a fainting fit. With the assistance of Sir Henry Durwood, a doctor at the hotel, Colwyn helps Ronald to his room, whereupon news emerges that Ronald has been accused of murdering Mr. Glenthorpe, an elderly archaeologist. As the investigation deepens, Colwyn becomes embroiled in unraveling the mystery surrounding Ronald's actions and the implications of his mental state, setting the stage for a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue.
