Om denne bog

Eight cases, and a frame story in which the little priest finally explains his method: he solves crimes by imagining himself the criminal until he feels what the man felt. Chesterton wrote Father Brown for money and produced, almost by accident, the only detective in English fiction who is interested in the soul rather than the puzzle. Fifty-three plates by painters including Grimshaw and Shaw follow the priest through the moonlit docks, quays and northern nights where his cases unfold.
