The second Philip Trent mystery -- published 23 years after the first, "Trent's Last Case," which by then was an acknowledged classic of the genre. Per Charles Shibuk, in Reilly's "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers": The book "starts with the discovery of an elderly philanthropist found shot in the back in his bedroom, and the only clue points staight to Philip Trent," who had earlier painted the man's portrait. (Trent was an artist as well as an amateur criminologist.) Shibuk continues: "[The book], it must be admitted, is hardly the equal of its illustrious predecessor, but it is an excellent detective novel of considerable skill and depth.".
