Summary
The character of A. J. Raffles, who debuted in 1898, offered Victorian readers a new kind of hero: a morally ambiguous character who anticipated the hardboiled detectives of 20th-century crime fiction. "There are few finer examples of short-story writing in our language than these," declared Arthur Conan Doyle of author E. W. Hornung's enduringly entertaining tales. Loaded with intrigue, cunning, and drollery, these comic gems are among the great treasures of crime fiction.
