Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This first volume of G. K. Chesterton's mysteries marks the debut of a most unusual detective: Father Paul Brown, a short, stumpy priest with an uncanny ability to spot the evil in human hearts. In twelve stories, Father Brown uses his wisdom, common sense and experience as a confessor to solve baffling crimes - and save lost souls along the way.
Stories originally published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1910 and 1911, then compiled under this title in 1911.
The blue cross -- The secret garden -- The queer feet -- The flying stars -- The invisible man -- The honor of Israel Gow -- The wrong shape -- The sins of Prince Saradine -- The Hammer of God -- The eye of Apollo -- The sign of the broken sword -- The three tools of death.
Father Brown is an eccentric priest with his own particular way of dealing with crime. His innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of deduction, he interprets each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself.
