The Hammer of God: A Father Brown Mystery

Written by G. K. Chesterton

Narrated by B. J. Harrison

Will Father Brown discover who killed the well-to-do ne’er-do-well? It appears as though he was stricken with the hammer of God. Is that a thing?

G.K. Chesterton is most notable for his creation of Father Brown. This unlooked for, and often unwelcome, detective is actually not a detective. But rather, an individual self-trained to think as criminals think, for he has heard so many of their confessions. He knows how their minds work, and can piece together many things that others cannot.

This story is from the first collection of Father Brown Stories, The Innocence of Father Brown.
