Trent Intervenes & Other Stories

Artist, connoisseur and private detective, Philip Trent, features in this classic and unputdownable collection, comprising eleven short stories. Included are 'The Genuine Tabard', in which a clergyman and unique objets d'art are involved in a neat confidence trick; 'The Foolproof Lift', in which a blackmailing valet is found murdered; and 'The Ordinary Hairpins', in which a golden-haired opera singer commits suicide - but Trent is wisely suspicious.
