Description

"Raffles: Further Adventures of the Amateur Cracksman" by E. W. Hornung is a short story collection published in 1901. This second installment follows gentleman thief A. J. Raffles and his companion Bunny Manders after their reputations are destroyed. Raffles is presumed drowned, while Bunny emerges from prison struggling to survive. Their unexpected reunion launches them back into crime, but now as hardened criminals rather than respectable gentlemen. Eight connected stories trace their adventures through Victorian London, Italy, and ultimately to the Second Boer War. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
