The first in the classic Philip Trent mystery series. When a scheming capitalist mogul is found dead in his English garden, amateur detective Philip Trent sets out to solve the crime. This classic tale is a masterpiece of false clues and a twisted ending. A must read for all mystery lovers, especially those fond of Golden Age mysteries.
