Although painter Phillip Trent had resolved to quit detecting, he is forced into it when he and his friends become involved in the murder of yet another obnoxious millionaire. Trent finds himself personally implicated when his own fingerprints are found on a weapon at the scene of the crime, hence the title, Trent’s Own Case.
I have to say there are parts of this story that stretch the “fair play” code a bit; some of Trent’s evidence comes from observations he makes during the course of the case that are only revealed to the reader at the very end. It’s still a well written and engaging story, though.
