About the story.

A conversation with a criminologist prompts Father Brown to recall a murder that resists the specialist’s tidy categories. The case involves people whose outward identities seem easy to describe and whose motives prove much less cooperative.

Chesterton sets the urge to classify a criminal beside the difficulty of understanding an individual. A face, a reputation, or an apparently complete account of someone’s interests may leave something important unseen.
