Father Brown - The Secret Garden

Paris, 1911. A dinner party given by Aristide Valentin, Chief of the Paris Police, is disturbed by the discovery of a stranger lying murdered within the grounds of his high-walled garden.

Who is he?

How did he get there?

And which of the distinguished guests has committed the gruesome crime?

Time for Father Brown to step forward. Intuitive and unassuming, his unremarkable exterior conceals a profound knowledge of human frailty.

Who better than a priest to understand the nature and prevalence of evil?

Written by GK Chesterton.
