"The Prime Minister is my father's friend. The Foreign Minister married my sister. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is my first cousin." In this statement from “The Vengeance of the Statue”, Horne Fisher,the eponymous protagonist of eight of the stories in The Man Who Knew Too Much,encapsulates the dilemma of the ultimate insider who knows too much of the goings on behind the scenes played out in the public political arena. Each of these interconnected tales features a murder, and the knowledgeable Fisher can uncover the underlying injustices and corruptions pertinent to each. Sadly, the perpetrators go free, as revealing the truth would lead to epic ramifications –war, rebellion, or loss of faith in government. Fisher’s activities are chronicled by apolitical journalist, Harold March, who serves as a sounding board for Fisher’s theories and ruminations. The book was published in 1922 and contained four additional stories in a similar vein in the English edition. The title has been appropriated for four films, two by Alfred Hitchcock, and at least seven books and magazine stories,none of which bear any relation to the original book.
