The Crooked Inn — Ernest Dudley

Max Mitchell and Dan Evans, two London playwrights, are seeking atmosphere and characters for a play. But when they travel to Wales for inspiration they find more than they bargained for. They arrive in Llanberis on a stormy night, and are forced to stay at the wrong hotel, The Crooked Inn. Then, as they face some disparate characters, and The Crooked Inn's connections to the gaol-break of a murderer, they become involved in a real-life drama of murder and mystery.
