A bedtime story for adults. Listen tonight to the Mystery Father Brown detective short story, The Honour of Israel Gow.

Father Brown and his new friend Flambeau the reformed cat burglar and new private detective, go and investigate the death of Lord Glengyle at his Scottish castle.

They are there to help Inspector Craven of Scotland Yard solve the strange death and secretive burial of the late Earl, a secluded man who lived as a hermit with his servant, the silent Israel Gow.

The Earl died and was buried in secrecy by Gow. If there has been a crime, the clues to the crime are significant in number and baffling. What is behind these strange and mysterious events?

This story is taken from the short story collection of The Innocence of Father Brown By G. K. Chesterton.
