Description: <p>Father Brown, <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/g-k-chesterton"><abbr>G. K.</abbr> Chesterton’s</a> crime-solving Catholic priest, is back in this second collection of Father Brown short stories.</p>
			<p>In this collection, Brown is joined by his sidekick, the former arch-criminal Flambeau. Brown is directly involved in the investigations less frequently than in <i><a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/g-k-chesterton/the-innocence-of-father-brown">The Innocence of Father Brown</a></i>, and several of the stories don’t even feature murder. Despite this, the shorts each feature Brown solving a mystery using his characteristic insight into human nature and morality.</p>
			<p>The stories in this collection were initially published in various serials, including <i>McClure’s Magazine</i> and <i>The Pall Mall Magazine</i>. Chesterton arranged them in this collection almost in order of publication.</p>
