The Amateur Cracksman by E. W. Hornung

First published in 1899, this is the debut collection of stories about A. J. Raffles, gentleman cricketer by day and jewel thief by night, and his loyal accomplice Bunny Manders. Hornung's stories flip the detective formula on its head, following the criminal instead of his pursuer, and set the template for the "gentleman thief" genre.

Includes the full unabridged audiobook (LibriVox recording) along with the ePub.
