The Best of Father Brown

Short, clumsy, shabby, and a Chatolic priest to boot, Father Brown apparently posed little threat to murderers, thieves and other criminals. But in a lifetime spent listening to confessions had given him a deep insight into the nature of evil. When the police were blaffled, Father Brown could often supply the solution.
In this insight into the waywardness of human behaviour that has made the Father Brown stories `among the finest short crime stories ever written` (Julia Symons). This unique selection by H.R.F Keating, creator of Inspector Ghote and the author of many detective novels and books about crime fiction, offers the cream of several story collections in a single, irresistible volume.
