Written in reaction to what Bentley perceived as the sterility and artificiality of the detective fiction of his day, Trent&apos;s Last Case features Philip Trent, an all-too-human detective who not only falls in love with the chief suspect but reaches a brilliant conclusion that is totally wrong.Trent’s Last Case begins when millionaire American financier Sigsbee Manderson is murdered while on holiday in England. A London newspaper sends Trent to investigate, and he is soon matching wits with Scotland Yard&apos;s Inspector Murth as they probe ever deeper in search of a solution to a mystery filled with odd, mysterious twists and turns.Called by Agatha Christie «one of the best detective stories ever written,» Trent&apos;s Last Case delights with its flesh-and-blood characters, its naturalness and easy humor, and its style, which, as Dorothy Sayers has noted, «ranges from a vividly coloured rhetoric to a delicate and ironical literary fancy.»

Trent’s Last Case

The second novel from the celebrated author of one of the most famous mystery classics ever written, Trent&apos;s Last Case.James Randolph is murdered early one evening and his body is found a few hours later. When the police arrive they discover that Randolph&apos;s safe has been ransacked and discarded wrapping paper litters his bedroom floor.Perhaps by chance or perhaps by design, Trent seems to have been the last person, other than the murderer, to see Randolph alive. But this is only one aspect amongst many which connect Trent with the murder and stimulate his interest: his friend Inspector Bligh is the detective in charge of the investigation, and then a long-time friend readily and perplexingly confesses his guilt. As much as he respects the abilities of Inspector Bligh, Trent&apos;s personal knowledge has him doubting the confession and intent on finding the truth.

Trent’s Own Case

Twelve stories from the celebrated author of one of the most famous mystery classics ever written, Trent&apos;s Last Case.Philip Trent is an artist, a journalist, and an urbane unraveller of highly problematical crimes. Here the unshakable sleuth appears in twelve tales of misadventure, where the crimes that he investigates range from fraud and embezzlement to criminal assault and murder, yet they all succumb to his adept methods even if the criminal sometimes escapes.Trent Intervenes affirms Bentley&apos;s reputation as an author of the first rank and displays his ability to write equally well in the short story form.
