The Man Who Was Thursday

Description

Anarchy has never been so orderly.

When Gabriel Syme is drawn into a deadly oath of secrecy, he penetrates the inner circle of the Central Anarchist Council—a sinister cabinet named for the days of the week, ruled by the monstrous, enigmatic President Sunday.

Elected as ‘Thursday,’ Syme finds himself a police detective stranded without backup in a nest of master assassins. But in a surreal world of brilliantly faked identities and deep psychological suspense, nothing—and no one—is what it seems. As the Council’s plots thicken, Syme is forced into a lonely, intellectual duel where the ultimate truth is the greatest nightmare of all.

This thrilling, modernized edition of G.K. Chesterton’s 1908 masterpiece slickly polishes the text to deliver a fast-paced, witty, and gripping psychological spy thriller for the modern reader. Step into a living, breathing mystery where every disguise hides a deeper danger.
