    <![CDATA[Two men claim the same name and estate. Each insists that he is Sir John Farnleigh, heir to a rich baronetcy in Kent. Each man brands the other as an impostor. Each tells a different but equally convincing story.<br/><br/>Only one person is in a position to identify the real Sir John. That person is Kennet Murray, Sir John's former tutor, who has the answer in the form of fingerprints taken when Sir John was a boy.<br/><br/>Murray's knowledge, needless to say, is dangerous. For it makes him a logical candidate for murder. In fact, one of the claimants even forewarns Murray: &quot;I smell blood. You will have to be murdered...&quot;<br/><br/>It was a shocking prediction to make. Yet that very night, in the garden of the Farnleigh estate, death struck swiftly, ruthlessly. And the victim was not Murray!<br/><br/>&quot;Ingenious&quot; is the word for THE CROOKED HINGE, a masterpiece of crime detection starring John Dickson Carr's philosophical sleuth, Dr. Gideon Fell.<br/><br/>Many puzzles crop up to baffle Dr. Fell. One is the strange significance of the crooked hinge. Another involves the hideous Golden Hag, a mechanical automaton.]]>

    <![CDATA[Two men claim the same name and estate. Each insists that he is Sir John Farnleigh, heir to a rich baronetcy in Kent. Each man brands the other as an impostor. Each tells a different but equally convincing story.<br/><br/>Only one person is in a position to identify the real Sir John. That person is Kennet Murray, Sir John's former tutor, who has the answer in the form of fingerprints taken when Sir John was a boy.<br/><br/>Murray's knowledge, needless to say, is dangerous. For it makes him a logical candidate for murder. In fact, one of the claimants even forewarns Murray: &quot;I smell blood. You will have to be murdered...&quot;<br/><br/>It was a shocking prediction to make. Yet that very night, in the garden of the Farnleigh estate, death struck swiftly, ruthlessly. And the victim was not Murray!<br/><br/>&quot;Ingenious&quot; is the word for THE CROOKED HINGE, a masterpiece of crime detection starring John Dickson Carr's philosophical sleuth, Dr. Gideon Fell.<br/><br/>Many puzzles crop up to baffle Dr. Fell. One is the strange significance of the crooked hinge. Another involves the hideous Golden Hag, a mechanical automaton.]]>

    <![CDATA[Two men claim the same name and estate. Each insists that he is Sir John Farnleigh, heir to a rich baronetcy in Kent. Each man brands the other as an impostor. Each tells a different but equally convincing story.<br/><br/>Only one person is in a position to identify the real Sir John. That person is Kennet Murray, Sir John's former tutor, who has the answer in the form of fingerprints taken when Sir John was a boy.<br/><br/>Murray's knowledge, needless to say, is dangerous. For it makes him a logical candidate for murder. In fact, one of the claimants even forewarns Murray: &quot;I smell blood. You will have to be murdered...&quot;<br/><br/>It was a shocking prediction to make. Yet that very night, in the garden of the Farnleigh estate, death struck swiftly, ruthlessly. And the victim was not Murray!<br/><br/>&quot;Ingenious&quot; is the word for THE CROOKED HINGE, a masterpiece of crime detection starring John Dickson Carr's philosophical sleuth, Dr. Gideon Fell.<br/><br/>Many puzzles crop up to baffle Dr. Fell. One is the strange significance of the crooked hinge. Another involves the hideous Golden Hag, a mechanical automaton.]]>
