Written in reaction to what Bentley perceived as the sterility and artificiality of the detective fiction of his day, Trent''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.
