The Arrow of Heaven

Every second detective story begins with a murdered millionaire. In this detective novel, there were three millionaires at once—which immediately turned the case from a run-of-the-mill crime into one of extraordinary importance. People said all three were victims of a curse that hung over the owners of a certain valuable relic: a cup adorned with precious stones. Rumors about the mysterious killer varied, but only Father Brown, by the will of fate involved in the investigation of this puzzling crime, was able to put an end to them and name the culprit.
