Description
The pocket-sized FLAME TREE COLLECTABLE CRIME CLASSICS collection has been curated to create a stunning and timeless gift library featuring classic crime thrillers and mysteries. Each dazzling, unabridged edition includes luxurious cover finishes, ribbon markers, gilded edges, and elegant endpapers.
In this collection of exciting stories, E.W. Hornung challenges the conventions of detective fiction by featuring criminal A.J. Raffles as his roguish hero. First published in 1898 as a series of short stories in Cassell’s Magazine, The Amateur Cracksman follows Raffles’ exploits as he robs Victorian high society of their wealth. A renowned cricket player and London socialite, Raffles is secretly a clever master of theft and disguise. Assisted by his friend Bunny Manders and constantly pursued by Scotland Yard, this gentleman thief’s escapades are as fascinating as they are nefarious.
A specially commissioned biography of the author and a glossary of Victorian and literary terms make this new edition an essential for all fans of classic crime fiction!
