About this book

Gabriel Syme, a poet who has secretly joined the police, talks his way onto the ruling council of a shadowy anarchist brotherhood, where each member takes the name of a day of the week. Syme becomes Thursday and sets out to expose the plot, only to find the conspiracy stranger and more slippery than he imagined. G. K. Chesterton called the book a nightmare, and it reads like one: a chase across London and the French countryside that keeps dissolving into paradox and theology. Part thriller, part philosophical joke, it circles questions of order, chaos, and the hidden face of things.
