This eBook has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Detective-Inspector Gabriel Hanaud has been described as the "first major fiction police detective of the Twentieth Century". He was modelled on two real-life heads of the Paris Sûreté, Macé and Goron. Émile Gaboriau's Monsieur Lecoq was also an acknowledged inspiration. Mason wanted to physically differentiate Hanaud from Sherlock Holmes as much as possible, and so he made him stout and broad-shouldered in contrast to Holmes who was thin. He often relies on psychological methods to solve cases and is assisted by his friend, the fastidious Mr Julius Ricardo, a former City of London financier. Hanaud was portrayed on screen several times – with adaptations of At the Villa Rose and its sequel The House of the Arrow. He has been seen as one of a number of influences on the creation of Agatha Christie's Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.Contents:At the Villa RoseThe Affair at the Semiramis Hotel

This carefully crafted ebook: "Trent's Last Case" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Detective Philip Trent investigates the mysterious murder of a leading financier. Despite the title, Trent's Last Case is the first novel in which the gentleman sleuth Philip Trent appears. The novel is a whodunit with a place in detective fiction history because it is the first major sendup of that genre: Not only does Trent fall in love with one of the primary suspects—usually considered a no-no—he also, after painstakingly collecting all the evidence, draws all the wrong conclusions! This novel was much praised, numbering Dorothy L. Sayers among its admirers, and with its labyrinthine and mystifying plotting can be seen as the first truly modern mystery. It was adapted as a film in 1920, 1929, and 1952. The success of the work inspired him, after 23 years, to write a sequel, Trent's Own Case.

All too soon the evening ended and Calladine thought he’d seen the last of her. But a few hours later she’s on his doorstep. Her name is Joan Carew and she needs his help. Joan quickly admits to him that she had just come form trying to steal an expensive pearl necklace. She’d made her way into the suit of her intended mark at the Semiramis Hotel, but there was someone already there. Thieves who grab her. The last thing she remembers is struggling with them as they try to bind her. A few hours later she came to alone in the room except for the dead body of the woman who had owned the pearls. Calladine agrees to help her immediately. This lovely woman can’t be a murderer . . . can she? Enter Inspector Hanaud, one of France’s finest detective. If anyone can get to the bottom of this case he can.
