Features: This book primarily introduces the investigation process of the case where British financial giant and tycoon Manderсон was shot and killed in his villa. The detective in the book, Trent, is a writer and journalist by profession, lively and humorous, with sharp wit, and has repeatedly solved mysterious cases. Unintentionally, he falls in love with the victim, Manderсон's wife, making him a "detective who loves beauty more than solving cases" in the history of detective novels. However, the book does not turn into a love story or other non-detective genres; instead, the case takes unexpected turns, becoming wonderfully and unusually complex. The investigation process is thrilling and extraordinary, making it one of the masterpieces of "puzzle-style" detective novels. Author Bentley wrote this book intending to play a joke on detective novels, with the title "The Last Case," actually being his th detective novel, implying his unintention to write a second one. Little did the authors know that "Trent's Last Case" would achieve great success upon its release, far beyond their expectations.
