Description

Poet-turned-detective Gabriel Syme is voted onto an anarchist council where each member is named for a day of the week, and Sunday sits as president. Masks slip, chases turn metaphysical, and order wears chaos like a joke as Syme hunts who is really in charge. A riddle of identity and anarchy, told with duel of words and horses through Saffron Park and beyond.

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.
