Description

In this collection of new escapades, the loyal chronicler of the gentleman thief returns to the moments that first bound him to the charismatic rogue. Over a drink at the Café Royal, he confides a tangled personal crisis—debts, a doomed romance, and a powerful family that threatens to ruin him. Raffles listens, his trademark smile masking a calculating mind, as the two plot a daring solution that could restore both honor and fortune.

The narrative captures the uneasy alliance of friendship and crime, revealing how Raffles' audacious charm can turn even the bleakest predicament into a game of wits. As the pair navigate the treacherous social circles of high‑society London, the reader is drawn into a world where elegance meets danger at every turn. Expect a blend of sharp dialogue, clever heists, and the bittersweet tension of a man caught between love and loyalty.

E. W. (Ernest William) Hornung

1866–1921

Best remembered as the creator of A. J. Raffles, the charming gentleman thief, he helped turn crime fiction on its head by making the criminal the hero. His stories mix wit, suspense, and a sharp feel for late-Victorian and Edwardian life.
