The Secret of Father Brown

The collection "The Secret of Father Brown" includes stories that fully reveal the essence of the unique method used by the main character in his investigations: "The Mirror of the Judge", "The Man with Two Beards", "The Song of the... Flying Fish", "The Actress's Alibi", "The Disappearance of Mr. Bodri" and others. An innocent person is accused of murdering the judge. Can the single fact that the prosecutor is bald serve as a basis for defense? Yes, claims Father Brown. The niece is about to marry a murderer. Will it be possible to disrupt this marriage if the only suspicion is a missing armor? Father Brown can handle that too. And he also has a secret — he successfully investigates crimes because… he commits them himself! Father Brown may seem a little strange, but the power of his mind and strength of spirit, the wisdom of the soul and sharpness of heart help him untangle the most complex knots that astonishingly connect completely different people. The book is illustrated with atmospheric graphic works by Peter Lyubaev.
