The Tremendous Adventures of Major Brown by G. K. Chesterton

When Major Brown is attacked by a man dressed as a South American native, he finds himself drawn into a bizarre world of theatrical crime. As the case unfolds, the explanation becomes stranger than the mystery itself. The plot reveals that the entire incident is part of an unusual business—creating custom-made adventures for clients. Chesterton flips expectations with satire and insight. It’s a wildly imaginative tale that questions the boundaries between reality and performance.
