In pursuit of the elusive Count Raoul De Marillac, journalist Asa Lee Pinion encounters four of the Count's friends calling themselves "The Club of Men Misunderstood". The men tell of their black and revolting crimes and how these deeds gained them the dubious honour of being made to appear worse than they are. Unusual and witty, each man's story is an excellent example of Chesterton's craft of inversion of ideas. "Four Faultless Felons" is full of twists about the oddity of life and the individuality of people and places.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) was an influential English writer of the early 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, poetry, biography and Christian apologetics, but today he is probably best remembered for his Father Brown short stories. Born in Campden Hill, Kensington, London, Chesterton was educated at St Paul's School. He was a literary and social critic, historian, playwright, novelist, Catholic Christian theologian and apologist, debater, and mystery writer. He was a columnist for the Daily News, Illustrated London News, and his own paper, G. K.'s Weekly; he also wrote articles for the Encyclopedia Britannica. Chesterton's writings consistently displayed wit and a sense of humour. He employed paradox, while making serious comments on the world, government, politics, economics, philosophy, theology and many other topics. Typically, Chesterton combined wit with a serious point (human sinfulness) and self-deprecation.
