Synopsis

'You see, it was just the very things that no one ever notices that he could count on being unnoticed.' The fifth short story featuring the iconic priest detective, Father Brown, The Invisible Man is one of G. K. Chesterton's most sophisticated mysteries. In this enthralling crime novel, a baffling murder shocks London: a man has been murdered in a locked room after receiving anonymous threats, his body resurfacing in a nearby canal. Witnesses swear no one went in – or out. The suspect? A supposedly invisible man. But as panic spreads across the local area, Father Brown, the quiet priest with a razor-sharp mind, believes all is not what it seems. As he begins to unravel the fatal mystery, Brown cleverly illustrates how anyone can become invisible – not by magic, but by expectation. A gripping tale of illusion, perception and the danger of what we choose not to see, The Invisible Man is one of Chesterton's most revered narratives. This audiobook edition is brilliantly brought to life by … Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.

About G. K. Chesterton

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was one of the most influential English writers of the twentieth century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography,Christian apologetics, fantasy, and detective fiction. Chesterton is well known for his reasoned apologetics, and even those who disagree with him have recognized the universal appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian and came to identify such a position with Catholicism more and more, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time magazine, said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius."
