253,95 kr. ¿Bunny¿ Manders is drawn to fill the void left by A. J. Raffles¿ absence at the end of The Black Mask with untold stories of the past adventures. These tales are perhaps ones that Bunny is most ashamed of, but among the regrets lie threads of future happiness.The public popularity of Raffles, fuelled by stage and film adaptations in the intervening years, lead to this continuation of his saga in 1905. A Thief in the Night, with the exception of the last two stories, is set in the same period as the events of The Amateur Cracksman.

253,95 kr. A. J. Raffles and his friend ¿Bunny¿ Manders are the quintessential rich young socialites; but behind the high-living façade, they¿ve exhausted their funds. There¿s only one way to pay the bills: a secret double-life as criminals.Raffles was E. W. Hornung¿s biggest literary success, with the Raffles stories proving perennially popular. This volume was dedicated to his brother-in-law Arthur Conan Doyle, and in Raffles and Manders there is a clear relation to Holmes and Watson. The character¿s popularity helped kickstart the ¿gentleman thief¿ genre, and it¿s easy to see parallels to the later stories of Arsène Lupin by Maurice Leblanc.

253,95 kr. After the events of The Amateur Cracksman A. J. Raffles is missing, presumed dead, and ¿Bunny¿ Manders is destitute but free after a stretch in prison for his crimes. So when a mysterious telegraph arrives suggesting the possibility of a lucrative position, Bunny has little option but to attend the given address.Raffles was a commercial success for E. W. Hornung, garnering critical praise but also warnings about the glorification of crime. The Black Mask, published two years after his first collection of Raffles stories, takes a markedly more downcast tone, with the high-life escapades of the earlier stories curtailed by Raffles¿ purported death.
