Raffles: The Black Mask
by E. W. Hornung
Ever since his friend and accomplice, A. J. Raffles, jumped into the Mediterranean, Bunny Manders jumped as much as he could. In the role of Raffles, he witnessed and participated in the most ingenious thefts the underworld has ever seen. Without him, Bunny is such a lucky former struggling convict that he responds to an announcement to find a male nurse and companion for a notorious rude disabled person. But when he lights Sullivan's cigarette and sees a perfect ring of smoke floating through the air, Bunny screams with joy. The disadvantages are back and ready for adventure. In the second part of E. W. Hornung's crime series about crackerjack, Britain's biggest jewel thief solves all his old tricks and many ingenious new ones - none as impressive as Queen Victoria turning himself into an accomplice.
