Description

A sly, impeccably dressed cricketer who dazzles the sporting world by day and slips through locked safes by night, Raffles remains the perfect blend of charm and danger. His longtime companion, the earnest yet often hapless Bunny, provides a steady, if reluctant, voice of conscience, chronicling the gentleman‑thief’s daring exploits with admiration and a hint of envy.

When Bunny finds himself mired in gambling losses and a tangled romance that threatens both his reputation and his heart, he turns to Raffles for a way out. Over a bottle at the Café Royal, the pair plot a delicate rescue that will test Raffles’s skill, loyalty, and the fragile balance between honor and crime. Their scheme promises the high‑society intrigue and razor‑sharp wit that fans of the original adventures have come to expect.

The story unfolds with the same breezy narration and clever twists that made the first Raffles tales irresistible, inviting listeners to slip into a world where a cricket bat can be as useful as a lock‑pick.

About the author

E. W. (Ernest William) Hornung

E. W. (Ernest William) Hornung

1866–1921

Best known for creating the gentleman thief A. J. Raffles, he wrote lively adventure and crime stories that gave late-Victorian suspense a sly, playful twist. His work remains closely linked with cricket, London society, and the pleasure of rooting for a brilliantly charming outlaw.
