The Innocence of Father Brown

G. K. Chesterton

The first twelve Father Brown stories: the meek Essex priest, with his umbrella and brown paper parcels, unmasks Flambeau the master thief in The Blue Cross and goes on solving impossible crimes by understanding the sinner from within. The Invisible Man, The Hammer of God and The Sign of the Broken Sword among them.
