  James Marwood, a traitor’s son turned government agent, is tasked with uncovering Cromwell’s motives.

  The Father Brown stories sit in relation to other detective literature much as the diminutive and seemingly unworldly Priest himself often sits; quietly, thoughtfully and often to be overlooked. However, when he at lasts speaks it is with such understanding of human knowledge that the self-styled sophisticates that surround him are dumbfounded.C.K Chesterton is not concerned with the procedural minutiae of the detective’s work, nor with leaving a trail of red herrings with which to keep us guessing. Father Brown reaches his conclusions through staring into the human psyche, indeed, at times, into the human soul.
