Andrew Sachs stars as the famous clerical sleuth in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation.
With his black hat, huge umbrella, unwordly simplicity and 'beaming but breathless geniality', Father Brown is one of fiction's best-loved amateur detectives. Short and tatty, but with the wisdom and insight to unravel the most wayward of criminal minds, he has entertained generations.
In 'The Arrow of Heaven', a trip to New York leads to a murky trail of blackmail and murder as Father Brown investigates the curse of the Coptic cup - a jewelled relic that brings death to each of its owners.
Dramatised by John Scotney and produced by Alec Reid.
