Di aspetto poco appariscente ma dotato di un acume straordinario, Padre Brown è di nuovo all'opera in un appassionante lavoro di analisi e decifrazione di crimini ed enigmi in apparenza insolubili, con le sue ironiche e talvolta assurde confutazioni, rigoroso e lucido nell'osservazione e nelle deduzioni e nel contempo profondamente umano. Personaggio molto amato anche in Italia, questo curioso prete cattolico si rivela un segugio insuperabile grazie alla capacità di riconoscere e affrontare il male, per assicurare i colpevoli alla giustizia ma soprattutto per salvarne le anime.

Back in the 1950's and 60's, Orrie Hitt was a prolific writer of romance novels. The "hanky panky" in his novels is tamer and less explicit than in many of today's romance novels, but the storylines were incredibly engaging. His characters are so fully developed that you either love them, hate them or pity them. In this novel, overworked and underpaid Danny O'Conner decides to take a little vacation at a resort, then decides to stay and work there. He soon becomes involved with three women, a lot of intrigue, and a great deal of danger.

A death, a con man, and murder plus an avenging woman.
