The Man Who Knew Too Much (1922) is G.K. Chesterton's masterful collection of eight connected mystery stories featuring Horne Fisher, an aristocratic investigator who knows far too much about the great men and secret machinery of Edwardian England. In each tale — "The Face in the Target", "The Vanishing Prince", "The Soul of the Schoolboy", "The Bottomless Well", "The Fad of the Fisherman", "The Hole in the Wall", "The Temple of Silence", and "The Vengeance of the Statue" — Fisher untangles murders among the powerful with weary brilliance, aided by the young journalist Harold March, while refusing ever to let the truth destroy the state he serves. Shooting-parties with disguised marksmen, royal escapes in Dublin Bay, a stolen relic in St. Paul's, poison in Egypt, a blackmailer found hanged by the river, an ice-bound park that swallows a lord, a political candidacy that is itself a conspiracy, and a duel beneath the falling statue of Britannia — the collection builds from detective puzzle to dark political allegory, culminating in Fisher's confession that he himself has killed to save his country. Witty, paradoxical and quietly tragic, it is among the finest of Chesterton's later detective fiction.
