Description
|
|
|
|
A council of anarchists, dedicated to overthrowing the world order, is under surveillance by Scotland Yard, and Detective Gabriel Syme must infiltrate their ranks. Becoming the seventh man of the anarchists' council and given the codename Thursday, Syme eventually confronts his worst fear: what if the council is on the side of right? A literary and social critic, political theorist, lecturer, and Christian apologist as well as a novelist, G.K. Chesterton has been described as one of the most unjustly neglected writers of the 20th century. He is largely remembered today for his Father Brown stories and for this metaphysical thriller from 1908, set in a phantasmagoric turn-of-the-century London where police are poets and bomb plots abound.
