Trent's Last Case : ウィキペディア英語版 | Trent's Last Case
''Trent's Last Case'' is a detective novel written by E.C. Bentley and first published in 1913. Its central character reappeared subsequently in the novel ''Trent's Own Case'' (1936) and the short-story collection ''Trent Intervenes'' (1938). ==Plot summary== ''Trent's Last Case'' is actually the ''first'' novel in which gentleman sleuth Philip Trent appears. The novel is a whodunit with a place in detective fiction history because it is the first major sendup of that genre: Not only does Trent fall in love with one of the primary suspects—usually considered a no-no—he also, after painstakingly collecting all the evidence, draws all the wrong conclusions. Convinced that he has tracked down the murderer of a business tycoon who was shot in his mansion, he is told by the real perpetrator over dinner what mistakes in logical deduction he has made in trying to solve the case. On hearing what really happened, Trent vows that he will never again attempt to dabble in crime detection.
