Victor Lorenzo Whitechurch (1868-1933) was a Church of England clergyman and author.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Tales of the Long Bow by G.K. Chesterton is a collection of marvelous stories about the activities of the Lunatic Asylum. Originally a group of pals who clown around, the group quickly transforms into an anarchist machine against the state. Excerpt: "These tales concern the doing of things recognized as impossible to do; impossible to believe; and, as the weary reader may well cry aloud, impossible to read about. Did the narrator merely say that they happened, without saying how they happened, they could easily be classified with the cow who jumped over the moon or the more introspective individual who jumped down his own throat."
