A Thief in the Night
by E. W. Hornung
"The Thief at Night" is the third collection of short stories in late Victorian England, detailing the exploits and intrigues of the gentleman-thief A. J. Raffles. Among the public, a popular athlete, Arthur Raffles, a sophisticated robber with a weakness for precious jewels alone, with the help of his sidekick Bunny Manders, always manages to disrupt the investigation of Inspector Scotland Yard Mackenzie. Once popular, this is the latest collection of stories about the most famous character, E. V. Hornung - only the novel "Mr. Justice Draws" follows.
