The Man Who Was Thursday
by G. K. Chesterton
“In a world of masks, who can you trust when even the days of the week are a conspiracy?”
Dive into a surreal Edwardian London where a poet-turned-policeman infiltrates a deadly council of anarchists named after the days of the week. As reality unravels into a metaphysical nightmare of masks and paradoxes, he discovers that no one—not even the anarchists themselves—is who they seem to be.
