The God of the Gongs

ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE

About the story.

Father Brown and Flambeau walk along an almost deserted coast on a cold afternoon. An encounter breaks the landscape’s monotony and draws them toward a disturbing affair associated with a hotel.

The mystery’s atmosphere grows from isolation, unfamiliar company, and the sense that danger can exist beside everyday arrangements. Brown’s attention turns toward human conduct where other observers may be distracted by more sensational explanations.
