Sworn to do his duty, when Syme discovers another undercover policeman on the Council, however, he starts to question his role in their operations.

The wings that retired Superintendent Lestrade comes on are those of a de Haviland Hercules.

Lord Carnarvon, careless with his razor, falls prey to a mosquito bite. Alain le Clerk leaves the tomb in a hurry to die alone in the desert. Aaron G String, the railway magnate, blows his brains out yards from the tomb’s entrance. 

And so it is that Sholto Lestrade flies East to solve a riddle every bit as impenetrable as that of the

Like other fictional characters, female sleuths may live in the past or the future. They may represent current times with some level of reality or shape their settings to suit an agenda. There are audiences for both realism and escapism in the mystery novel. It is interesting, however, to compare the fictional world of the mystery sleuth with the world in which readers live. Of course, mystery readers do not share one simplistic world. They live in urban, suburban, and rural areas, as do the female heroines in the books they read. They may choose a book because it has a familiar background or because it takes them to places they long to visit. Readers may be rich or poor; young or old; conservative or liberal. So are the

At first, The Man Who Was Thursday seems no more than a detective story that also has both poetry and politics, as well. But it soon becomes a mystery that grows more mysterious, until it is nothing less than the mystery of creation itself. This is Chesterton's most famous novel. Never out of print since it was first published in 1908, critics immediately hailed it as "amazingly clever," "a remarkable acrobatic performance," and "a scurrying, door-slamming farce that ends like a chapter in the Apocalypse." One reviewer described how he had read it in one sitting and put it down, "completely dazed."

"This book is Chesterton at his best. Every scene is perfect. Every line is a gem." (The American Chesterton Society)

"It is very difficult to classify The Man Who Was Thursday. It is possible to say that it is a gripping adventure story of murderous criminals and brilliant policemen; but it was to be expected that the author

Forty years later, at the height of the Cold War, the engineer's estranged son reluctantly returns home to attend his mother's funeral. The two men haven't spoken in a long time, but they still share a love for the sea—and for submarines in particular. Now a maintenance contractor for the Navy and Coast
