“My last crime was a Christmas crime, a cheery, cozy, English middle-class crime; a crime of Charles Dickens. I did it in a good old middle-class house, a house with a crescent of carriage drive, a house with a stable by the side of it, a house with the name on the two outer gates, a house with a monkey tree. Enough, you know the species.” How does Father Brown solve the theft of three gorgeous, large diamonds by a boastful thief?

Aristide Valentin, Paris chief of police, has decided to stage a grand dinner party at his estate. The estate has only one entrance, with a garden protected by a high wall; there is no entering or leaving except by the main entrance, which is guarded by Valentin's steadfast servant, Ivan. However, a murder most foul occurs, a decapitation, and it will be up to Father Brown to use all his wits to solve this heinous murder.

First published in 1922 and filled with evocative portraits of pre-World War I society, these eight stories from the creator of the Father Brown mysteries recount the adventures of Horne Fisher, a socialite who uses his immense knowledge and powerful deductive gifts to investigate crimes committed on the sprawling country estates of the aristocracy - crimes that must, alas, go largely unpunished due to the greater harm that justice would unleash.

First published in 1911, The Innocence of Father Brown contains stories involving one of the greatest characters in the history of detective fiction: Father Brown.
