A Thief in the Night

A Thief in the Night by E. W. Hornung is a classic crime fiction collection featuring the charismatic gentleman thief A. J. Raffles and his loyal companion Bunny Manders. Set in late Victorian England, the stories follow the duo as they plan daring burglaries, outwit the police, and navigate the dangerous double life of respectable gentlemen and secret criminals. Narrated by Bunny, the adventures reveal both the thrill and consequences of their exploits. Blending wit, suspense, and moral ambiguity, the book remains a landmark of early mystery fiction and helped shape the enduring archetype of the charming anti-hero thief.
