The Invisible Man
G. K. Chesterton · 1910 · Mystery & Detective
A warning appears on a Camden shop window although no one saw it placed there. When inventor Isidore Smythe vanishes from a room guarded by four honest men, Angus turns to Flambeau—and Father Brown asks what sort of person can pass through eight watchful eyes without ever becoming suspicious.
