Description

Priest-detective Father Brown solves theft, murder, and deception by reading criminal motives from inside human nature. Chesterton's collection of mysteries shaped by moral insight rather than swagger. Spoken as when the quietest man in the room already knows why the crime had to feel inevitable.

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.
