Description

Father Brown carries the Blue Cross through London while Flambeau tries to seize it and Detective Valentin hunts the trail. Chesterton?s first Father Brown tale of disguise, chase, and moral insight. Spoken as when the unassuming priest understands the thief better than the thief understands himself.

Author

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer, often referred to as the prince of paradox. Chesterton is well known for his fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and for his reasoned apologetics. Even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the wide appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton's wit, paradoxical style, and defence of tradition made him a dominant figure in early 20th-century literature.
