The Man Who Knew Too Much

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A prolific and popular writer, G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) is best known as the creator of detective-priest Father Brown. These eight tales trace the activities of Horne Fisher, a member of a wealthy and socially prominent family who is well acquainted with the ways of the rich and powerful (he knows too much about them). Fisher's keen mind and powerful deductive gifts make him a natural sleuth, but his inquiries tend to develop moral complications—which he sorts out with the able assistance of his friend and confidant, the writer Harold March. Notable for their wit and sense of wonder, these adventures offer an evocative portrait of upper-crust society in pre-World War I Britain. Unabridged republication of the classic 1922 edition.
