The Doings of Raffles Haw — EPUB + Audiobook

A mysterious millionaire has learned to make unlimited gold. His greatest experiment will be what wealth does to everyone around him.

When the reclusive Raffles Haw arrives at a strange new house near a struggling English town, his fortune seems almost miraculous. He rescues families, finances bold inventions, and offers artists and dreamers everything money can buy. Yet generosity on this scale carries a dangerous pressure of its own. In this fast-moving speculative novel, Arthur Conan Doyle turns an alchemical fantasy into a sharp study of ambition, dependence, love, and the corrosive power of limitless wealth.

Written before Sherlock Holmes had eclipsed much of Doyle’s other fiction, The Doings of Raffles Haw is an ingenious, rarely spotlighted work that blends Victorian science fiction with a moral fable.
