Sinopsis

In “The Doings of Raffles Haw," Mr. Doyle tells the story of an English Monte Cristo, which is to say that it is cleverly told. There is rare satisfaction in following his ingenious deductions and daring movements; and the novel-reader who has not shared this pleasure has missed an enthralling study.
