The Man Who Knew Too Much

Horne Fisher, a detective with deep social and political connections, navigates the complexities of Britain's elite in a series of morally challenging short stories. Accompanied by his partner, journalist Harold March, Fisher investigates various criminal cases, including notable tales like "The Face in the Target" and "The Vanishing Prince." G.K. Chesterton uses these narratives to critique the ruling class while delivering suspenseful plots. Originally serialized in 1922, this edition features a modern design and is a testament to its enduring appeal, having inspired Hitchcock's film adaptations.
