Sherwin Wyser is flying through the air. An explosion at 120 South Street propels him through a first-floor window and out into the street in a splash of glass. He is injured, but the blast doesn't kill him. In fact, it saves his life. But what was Sherwin doing at 120 South Street? He came there to commit a murder. A murder? How absurd? Where could we find a less likely assassin than this sedentary, diffident, college professor loaded down with moral scruples? But which of you can claim to have perfect control over your own emotions?
Drop of a Hat, Dr. Steinberg's first novel, explores the variety of emotional experiences of a very ordinary human being subjected to extreme duress, and how the events in his life history have contributed to his distress--all played out against the background of the incomprehensible miracle of human existence and consciousness. It examines the breaking point where our emotions may overcome our moral judgment and, indeed, our rational judgment.
