First published in The Saturday Evening Post (June 24, 1911) and then in The Innocence of Father Brown collection (1911). This edition: The Complete Father Brown Mysteries (Carousel Books, 2021). SPOILERS AHEAD?
Here, we conclude those tales included in the compilation of The Innocence of Father Brown. We'll take a nice-lengthed open-ended break before getting into what constitutes The Wisdom of Father Brown collection. As to this tale...
