The eight tales of The Man Who Knew Too Much by G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) trace the activities of Horne Fisher, a member of a wealthy and socially prominent family who is well acquainted with the ways of the rich and powerful (he knows too much about them). Fisher's keen mind and powerful deductive gifts make him a natural sleuth, but his inquiries tend to develop moral complications—which he sorts out with the able assistance of his friend and confidant, the writer Harold March. Notable for their wit and sense of wonder, these adventures offer an evocative portrait of upper-crust society in pre-World War I Britain. In this episode, Fisher and March witness the death of a man whose car plunges over a cliff. Illustration of G.K.
