About
Edmund Clerihew Bentley was born in London, England. He was a popular English novelist and humorist of the early twentieth century. His detective novel, Trent's Last Case, 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.
