Paperback. Condition: Good. One of the few genuine classics of detective fiction. -- The New York Times. Written in reaction to what Bentley perceived as the sterility and artificiality of the detective fiction of his day -- particularly stories that featured infallible detectives of the Holmesian stripe -- Trent's Last Case (1913) 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.The case begins when millionaire American financier Sigsbee Manderson is murdered while on holiday in England.
