Father Brown, G. K. Chesterton’s lovable little Norfolk priest, has an uncanny knack of unravelling mysteries that leave lesser mortals floundering. His sympathetic understanding of human nature never deserts him, even when he himself is touched by a breath of scandal, thanks to the hasty conclusions of a crusading newspaperman. In this collection, Father Brown uses his distinctive style of deduction to solve the seemingly insoluble. As well as the title story, the other puzzles include: 'The Quick One', 'The Blast of the Book', 'The Green Man', 'The Pursuit of Mr. Blue', 'The Point of a Pin' and 'The Vampire of the Village'.
