Charles Swinburne and his friend, the private detective Rupert Grant, are startled when Major Brown recounts the things that happened to him that morning. Along with Rupert's brother, the ex-judge Basil Grant, they launch headlong into their investigation only to discover that the antagonist is a member of the Club of Queer Trades.
The Club of Queer Trades was one of G. K. Chesterton's earlier works, and was originally serialized in Harper's Weekly in 1904 before being collected into a novel in 1905. In recent years it was produced as a six-part radio drama by the BBC.
Witty, whimsical, and full of Chesterton's trademark paradoxes, this linked story collection is a delightful early showcase of his gift for turning ordinary mysteries into philosophical puzzles.
Readers who enjoy classic mystery, eccentric detective fiction, or Chesterton's later Father Brown stories will find this early collection a treat.
