Band 2 der "Gerd Köster liest Pater Brown" - Reihe: In der Toskana sitzt die bildhübsche Ethel Harrogate mit ihrer reichen, englischen Familie zu Mittag in einem Restaurant. Sie erzählt von Berichten über den Räuberkönig Montano, der in den Bergpfaden der Alpen sein Unwesen treiben soll. Die Gerüchte reichen jedoch nicht aus, um ihre Familie von der Reise über eben jenes Gebirge abzuhalten. Lauert hinter den dunklen Tannen oder oben auf den gewaltigen Felsen der sagenumwobene Räuberkönig, bereit jeden Moment auf die Gruppe der Reisenden zu stürzen, oder ist er bloß ein Hirngespinst? Pater Brown ist englischer, katholischer Pfarrer und sicherlich ein atypischer Detektiv in der Literaturwelt: Er ist unscheinbar und vermittelt oftmals einen eher einfältigen Eindruck. Gerade im Vergleich zum herrischen, charakterstarken Sherlock Holmes, der in Watsons Aufzeichnungen ihrer gemeinsamen Abenteuer viel "Screentime" erhält, wirkt Pater Brown beinahe, aber eben nur beinahe, wie eine Nebenfigur. In Chestertons Erzählungen stehen der Fall, und vor allem die in ihm verwickelten Personen - Opfer, Täter und Zeugen - im Vordergrund. Und doch: Die Figur des Pater Browns schafft es auch ganz ohne aufdringlich zu sein, im Gedächtnis zu bleiben, Charakter und Wiedererkennungswert zu beweisen. Wir sind deshalb überzeugt, dass diese Reihe auch bei vielen Sherlock-Holmes-Fans Anklang finden wird und, dass die Stärke der literarischen Figur Pater Brown eben genau in seinem "Anderssein" liegt, die ihn zur Kontrastfigur zu literarischen Meisterdetektiven wie Sherlock Holmes macht.

"The Adventure of the Second Stain", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes and the only unrecorded case mentioned passively by Watson to be written. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Second Stain" eighth in his list of his twelve favourite Holmes stories. Lord Bellinger, the Prime Minister, and the Right Honourable Trelawney Hope, the Secretary of State for European Affairs, come to Holmes in the matter of a document stolen from Hope's dispatch box, which he kept at home in Whitehall Terrace when not at work. If divulged, this document could bring about very dire consequences for all Europe, even war. They are loath to tell Holmes at first the exact nature of the document's contents, but when Holmes declines to take on their case, they tell him that it was a rather injudicious letter from a foreign potentate. It disappeared from the dispatch box one evening when Hope's wife was out at the theatre for four hours. No-one in the house knew about the document, not even the Secretary's wife. None of the servants could have guessed what was in the box.
