About “Trent Intervenes”
Philip Trent is an artist, journalist, and urbane unraveller of highly problematical crimes, described as a man of "tropically luxuriant mental gifts" who is clever at getting at the truth about things other people don't understand. In this collection of twelve tales, his wide knowledge of antiques, heraldry, gold, medicine, law, theater, geography, languages, literature, the book world, the underworld, and wine helps him investigate crimes ranging from fraud and embezzlement to criminal assault and murder.
