A Chestertonian version of Sherlock Holmes, this little cleric from Essex — with “a face as round and dull as a Norfolk dumpling” and “eyes as empty as the North Sea” — appears in six suspenseful, well-plotted tales: “The Blue Cross,” “The Sins of Prince Saradine,” “The Sign of the Broken Sword,” “The Man in the Passage,” “The Perishing of the Pendragons,” and “The Salad of Colonel Cray.”
