In The Man Who was Thursday, detective Gabriel Syme is recruited by Scotland Yard to infiltrate the Anarchist's Council- a seven-man group with each member taking the name of a day and led by the larger-than-life Sunday. Syme succeeds and becomes Thursday- but as he seeks to bring the anarchists to law, he finds himself in a quite unexpected adventure.
G.K. Chesterton is amazing. His prose is fantastic, eloquent, and insightful. The story itself is gripping and meaningful. This is the second time I've read this . . . and knowing the ending didn't diminish my enjoyment this time around. Highly recommended.
