‘‘The Secret of Glengyle Castle’’ (or ‘‘The Honour of Israel Gow’’) is one of many well-loved stories featuring the unlikely detective prowess of Father Brown, a British clergyman. Join him as he investigates the mysterious disappearance of a Scottish Lord from a secluded castle, surrounded by evil forces - or perhaps, just the bizarre relics of an eccentric old miser.
Chesterton masterfully combines elements of Catholic theology and classic crime fiction to create a quirky, unique mystery.
