Mr. Justice Raffles EPUB

This early work by Ernest William Hornung was originally published in 1909 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Mr. Justice Raffles' is the fourth and last book featuring the charming A.

J. Raffles. Unlike the three previous works, the book was a full-length novel and featured darker elements than the earlier collections of short stories.

In it a jaded Raffles is growing increasingly cynical about British high society.

He encounters Dan Levy, an unscrupulous moneylender, who manages to entrap a number of young men, mostly sons of the wealthy, by giving them loans and then charging huge amounts of interest.

Raffles takes it upon himself to teach Levy a lesson.

Ernest William Hornung was born in Middlesbrough, England in 1866.

After working briefly as a journalist, and publishing a series of poems in The Times, Hornung created the character for which he is best-remembered: A.

J. Raffles, a "gentleman thief" plying his trade in Victorian London.
