Sinopsis

After years of participating in both the London high society and in a disgraced lower class, A.J Raffles has grown tired of the social scene in London. Though he lives by his own moral code, Raffles does not feel he has ever slighted anyone innocent. However, he cannot say the same for some of his peers. When Raffles catches his cricket protégé attempting to steal from his checkbook, Raffles knows something must be wrong. Usually honest and kind, Teddy admits that he has gotten himself into financial trouble. After taking a loan from a lender named Dan Levy, Teddy was charged an unjust amount of interest. With the threat of a serious consequence should he not pay the interest in a timely manner, Teddy felt forced to try to steal. Sympathetic to the young man’s plight, Raffles and Bunny decide to help Teddy, and teach Levy a lesson. However, despite being able to pay off Teddy’s debt, Levy wants more than just money, and he’s willing to be as violent as necessary to achieve his goal. E.W Hornung’s Mr. Justice Raffles concludes the beloved series of the adventures of Raffles and Bunny. Featuring dark themes and cynical elements, this novel provides a fresh and fitting end to the series. With heists, feuds, murder attempts and hitmen, Mr. Justice Raffles is an action-packed adventure with romance, entertaining audiences over one-hundred years after its first publication. This edition of Mr. Justice Raffles by E.W Hornung now features a new, eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, contemporary readers are encouraged to revisit the dramatic conclusion to the classic adventures of E.W Hornung’s beloved partners in crime, Raffles and Bunny.

Acerca del autor

Ernest William Hornung (1866-1921) was an English author and poet, best known as a crime writer who often published under his initials, E.W. Hornung. When he was seventeen, Hornung moved to Australia, with the hope that the climate would remedy his poor health. Hornung often referred to this time as one of the best periods of his life, and he based much of his work off an Australian setting. A little over two years later, Hornung returned to England and worked as a journalist during the active period of the infamous serial killer Jack the Ripper, which likely sparked his interest in crime fiction. Hornung married Connie Doyle, the sister of major author Arthur Conan Doyle, in 1893. While the author explored many important themes in his work, the topics of Australia, crime, and cricket were commonly present in his work, signifying Hornung’s interest and passion for each.
