His essays include one in which he discovers he is riding with a dead man but still ritually discards his cigar, "The Secret of a Train." An object thrown from a belfry and not the freakish strength of a blacksmith provides the fatal blow in his The Hammer of God, while two "impossibly ugly" suitors vie for the hand of Laura Hope, one killing the other and smuggling his dwarfish body out of a house filled with robot servants, in a work entitled Invisible Man. He is more famous for a novel in which the Central Anarchist Council elects Lucian Gregory to the title position and another that sees Adam Wayne refuse to sell land for a new highway. FTP, name this author of the Father Brown detective stories, The Man Who Was Thursday, and The Napoleon of Notting Hill.
