Bit Rate: 192000 Sample Rate: 32000 Encoded by pOTRice Written in reaction against the solemnity ofthe Sherlock Holmes stories, "Trent's Last Case" (1912) with its ingeniously twisting plot and cheerfully self-mocking hero, is a classic of the golden age of English detective fiction. A powerful and ruthless American capitalist is found dead in the garden of his English country house. But why is he not wearing his false teeth? Why is his young widow so relieved at his death? The artist and amateur detective Philip Trent arrives to find that there is more to the case than the solving ofa puzzle: he must also accept his own fallibility, in detection and in romance. With Martin Jarvis as Philip Trent, Helena Beck as Mabel Mandereon, Simon Hewitt as Marlowe & Manning Wilson as Cupples. Dramatised by Alan Dana Directedby Jerry Jones
