  Fried's conjecture is concerned with the behavior of dynamical zeta functions
at the origin. For compact hyperbolic manifolds, Fried proved that for an
orthogonal acyclic representation of the fundamental group, the twisted Ruelle
zeta function is holomorphic at $s=0$ and its value at $s=0$ equals the
Ray-Singer analytic torsion. He also established a more general result for
orthogonal representations, which are not acyclic. The purpose of the present
paper is to extend Fried's result to arbitrary finite dimensional
representations of the fundamental group. The Ray-Singer analytic torsion is
replaced by the complex-valued torsion introduced by Cappell and Miller.
