Description

A thrilling blend of metaphysical mystery and anarchic intrigue. Gabriel Syme, a poet-turned-detective, is recruited to infiltrate an anarchist council where each member is named for a day of the week. As Syme navigates deception and layers of complexity, Chesterton crafts a tale of philosophical depth, exploring chaos, identity, and the thin line between order and anarchy.

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.
