The Flying Stars — Father Brown has been invited to a Christmas masquerade, which becomes the target of another robbery. The Point of a Pin — A labor dispute leads to murder. The Three Tools of Death — A man is murdered, a man confesses to the murder and is arrested, but Father Brown doesnt believe either claim. The Invisible Man — The inimitable Father Brown is called to help in the hunt for a mysterious killer, known only as an "invisible man."
