Overview: For the real origin of Catholic influence on the mystery-suspense tale, we must look to the twentieth century and the publication in 1910 of the first adventure of Father Brown by G. K. Chesterton. In this anthology Chesterton’s Father Brown, Anthony Boucher’s Sister Ursula, and other devout detectives divine the meaning of ecclesiastical clues with some secular assistance. An altar boy helps George Simenon’s Inspector Maigret solve a mystery of a disappearing corpse. A young nun’s naïve confession tips off a shrewd mother superior to the presence of an all-too-worldly element in her convent. Antonia Fraser’s Jemima Shore solves her first case precisely because she doesn’t believe in miracles. Among the eleven stories collected here are cradle Catholics—a museum curator discovers that a religious sculptor has confessed to an unspeakable sin through his works of art; fallen Catholics—a defrocked priest regains his faith when he commits a crime; and young Catholics—a school boy petitions the Virgin Mary to alter his failing grade in algebra. In each story, the Romans collar crime.
