Descriere The Secret of Father Brown (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition) - G. K. Chesterton

G. K. Chesterton's celebrity priest-detective returns in The Secret of Father Brown, the fourth of five collections of short stories featuring Father Brown. Through his uncanny ability to anticipate the actions of others and his profound understanding of human nature, Father Brown uncovers the truth behind perplexing murders, elaborate robberies, and other acts of maleficence. Flambeau, once the most famous burglar in France and now a detective in England, makes a reappearance as Father Brown's reformed friend and colleague in the two stories that frame the eight detective mysteries in this volume. Father Brown's investigations involve such varied characters as the celebrated poet Osric Orm, the Robin Hood-like criminal Michael Moonshine, the goldfish-obsessed Peregrine Smart, the haggard theatre manager Mundon Mandeville, and the eccentric Lady Mounteagle. This collection includes The Vanishing of Vaudrey, one of Chesterton's most memorable and startling stories, and The Chief Mourner of Marne, a story that vies with The Sign of the Broken Sword for the position of Chesterton's masterpiece. \n\n \n \n\n
