Publisher's Summary

Considered by many to be the first modern mystery novel, Trent's Last Case introduces the gentleman sleuth Philip Trent, a freelance reporter and investigator.

Trent becomes involved in the case of the murder of millionaire American financier Sigsbee Manderson, slain while on holiday in England. During the course of his investigation, Trent falls in love with one of the primary suspects. And while he collects evidence and becomes convinced that he has cracked the case, he turns out to be well off the mark when the real murderer tells Trent just how wrong his conclusions were. An inspiration to writers like Agatha Christie and G.K. Chesterton, Trent's Last Case is a classic of the mystery genre.

The golden age of detection - with Simon Vance!

First, you can never go wrong with a book performed by the legendary Simon Vance. He is a true master.
Second, this story still stands apart from many of the other detective stories that came fast on its heels and that is because of its humble ending. It is an ending unlike any attributed to Poirot, Lord Peter Wimsey, Renaud, etc.
