Trent Intervenes and Other Stories

Artist, connoisseur and private detective, Philip Trent, features in this classic collection, comprising eleven short stories. Included are "The Genuine Tabard," in which a clergyman and unique objects 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.
