“I am the man who knows to much to know anything, or, at any rate, to do anything”
Excellent series of linked stories of Horne Fisher, who untangles paradoxes and solves murders, often within the inner circles of British élite. Source for Alfred Hitchcock, who made two films: in 1934, starring Peter Lorre; and in 1956 starring Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day.
