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. A London newspaper sends Trent to investigate, and he is soon matching wits with Scotland Yard'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'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.\" New Introduction by Douglas G. Greene.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931560182048,"sku":"NEW0486296873","price":10.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/trents-last-case-dover-mystery-classics-0486296873","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
