G.K. Chesterton's metaphysical thriller follows Gabriel Syme, a poet-turned-detective who infiltrates a sinister anarchist council in London. The secret society comprises seven members named after days of the week, presided over by the enigmatic Sunday. Elected as the new "Thursday," Syme embarks on a surreal journey through a nightmare world where nothing is what it seems. As he confronts murderous conspirators and engages in impossible chases across London, Syme uncovers startling secrets about his fellow anarchists—and ultimately about Sunday himself. Part detective story, part philosophical allegory, this 1908 masterpiece explores order, chaos, faith, and the nature of reality.
