Trent's Last Case

"Trent's Last Case"" is actually the first novel in which the title character, gentleman sleuth Philip Trent, appears. A whodunit murder mystery novel, «Trent's Last Case» is unique in that it is more a spoof of the genre than a serious detective story. Trent, not particularly adept at detective work, falls in love with one of the suspects and in investigating the murder of a wealthy business tycoon at his mansion naturally comes to all the wrong conclusions. An amusing and inventive story, fans of the detective genre will delight in this humorous parody.
