Original, Novi naslovi, Akcija 3 za 1599
"Always be comic in a tragedy. What the deuce else can you do?"
Can you trust yourself when you don't know who you are?
In a park in London, secret policeman Gabriel Syme strikes up a conversation with an anarchist. Sworn to do his duty, Syme uses his new acquaintance to go undercover in Europe's Central Anarchist Council and infiltrate their deadly mission, even managing to have himself voted to the position of 'Thursday'.
When Syme discovers another undercover policeman on the Council, however, he starts to question his role in their operations. And as a desperate chase across Europe begins, his confusion grows, as well as his confidence in his ability to outwit his enemies. But he has still to face the greatest terror that the Council has: a man named Sunday, whose true nature is worse than Syme could ever have imagined...

Gilbert Kit Česterton
Gilbert Kit Česterton (G. K. Chesterton, 1874–1936) bio je engleski pisac, esejista, kritičar i novinar, poznat po duhovitosti, paradoksima i briljantnom stilu. Autor je brojnih eseja, književnih i društvenih kritika, kao i romana, među kojima se izdvajaju The Man Who Was Thursday (1908) i popularni detektivski ciklus o svešteniku-detekivu Faderu Braunu. Bio je uticajan polemičar u verskim i filozofskim pitanjima, a njegov prelazak u katolicizam 1922. snažno je oblikovao njegov kasniji rad. Smatra se jednim od najznačajnijih engleskih prozaista i apologeta hrišćanstva u prvoj polovini 20. veka.
