The Amateur Cracksman (1899) is the first collection of E.W. Hornung's classic crime stories featuring A. J. Raffles, a celebrated gentleman cricketer and darling of London clubland who by night is the most audacious cracksman in England. Told by his devoted friend and accomplice, Bunny Manders, the eight tales carry the pair from a deadly Ides of March to a costumed escapade at a country ball, from the hush of a great house in Nine Points of the Law to a return match with a blackmailing rival and a final theft of the Emperor's gift. Raffles is charming, reckless and utterly amoral, and his adventures — witty, suspenseful and quietly satirical of Victorian society — made him the most famous gentleman thief in English fiction.
