The Crooked Hinge is a novel (1938) by detective novelist John Dickson Carr, often counted among the greatest mysteries of the Golden Age. It combines a seemingly impossible throat-slashing with elements of witchcraft, an automaton modelled on Maelzel's Chess Player, and the story of the Tichborne Claimant.
[edit] Plot introduction
In his 9th outing, Dr. Fell spends the July of 1937 at a small village in Kent. Fell is at his sober, and most well behaved form. Ingenious mystery that uses good old fashioned ingenuity and misdirection.
