The Selected Tales of Father Brown

Set in the early 20th century, this collection features Father Brown, an unconventional English priest and detective who solves mysteries through intuition rather than traditional deductive reasoning. Unlike iconic detectives like Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown immerses himself in the mindset of criminals, drawing on his experiences as a priest to understand human nature. The volume includes fifteen thrilling tales originally published in "The Innocence of Father Brown" and "The Wisdom of Father Brown," showcasing Chesterton's unique approach to crime-solving.
