The Innocence of Father Brown: A Quality Print Classic

Based on a real priest, Father Brown does not solve mysteries by logic. Instead, he is the first "profiler." He senses evil based on his experience of hearing confessions for years. Thus, he becomes the sinner as he absolves and heals victims and criminals alike. As he explains, it is as if "I had murdered them all myself... I had planned out each of the crimes very carefully. I had thought out exactly how a thing like that could be done, and in what style or state of mind a man could really do it. And when I was quite sure that I felt exactly like the murderer myself, of course I knew who he was." But where others see acts of devil, he knows the true nature of evil: it is what some people do. Father Brown is the divine profiler.
