Video Description
A voice in an empty street, a supernatural laugh, footprints appearing where multiple witnesses insist nobody has been: Laura Hope is haunted by an unseen presence. Mr Angus wants to help, and enlists the services of Flambeau, a private detective, and his clerical friend Father Brown...

His writing covered a wide variety of subjects, ranging from crime fiction to Christianity. His most famous novel is probably the "metaphysical thriller" 'The Man Who Was Thursday' (1908), but his most famous fictional creation is surely Father Brown, the Catholic priest-detective who featured in more than 50 short stories published episodically between 1910 and 1936. A complete contrast to his (near) contemporary Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown is quiet, unassuming and solves crimes with instinct, intuition and a deep understanding of human nature. 'The Invisible Man' is one of the most famous of the Father Brown stories. It was first published in The Saturday Evening Post in January 1911, and in Cassell's Magazine the following month. Later in 1911 it was the fifth story in 'The Innocence of Father Brown', the first of several volumes which comprise the Father Brown series. Recording © Bitesized Audio 2024
