Publisher Description
Chesterton leads us on a merry ride of mystery, intrigue and above all, fantasy in this tale of anarchism filled with suspense and sitting-on-the-edge-of-ones-chair fright. Sometimes it is referred to as a metaphysical-thriller and Chesterton himself refers to it as "a nightmare". We are kept wondering and in suspense until the very end of this masterpiece by the creator of Father Brown.

G.K. Chesterton
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) was a British novelist, journalist and poet. Most famed for his fantasy and mystery novels, Chesterson was a contemporary of Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw.
Referred to as The Eccentric Prince of Paradox "truth standing on its head to gain attention.", Chesterton used wit, humor and satire to make social commentary.
Customer Reviews
Good Book/ Misleading run time
The story is decent, not the best. The run time is actually about 5 hours 10 minutes. For whatever reason the book is split into 80 tracks about 5 to 15 minutes length, but this does not follow the chapter times. The last track is 5 hours 15 long itself and plays the last chapter(about 5 minutes) and then goes through the entire book again but starts at chapter 2.
Love the book, glitches after purchase
Can’t get the audio book to work any longer. Not sure why it won’t let me listen. Hoping this gets someone’s attention at Apple
