description: A Thief In The Night is a classic mystery novel written by E. W. Hornung. The story follows the exploits of A. J. Raffles, a gentleman thief who steals from the rich and gives to himself. Raffles is a charming and witty character who always manages to stay one step ahead of the law. However, when a priceless diamond goes missing from a wealthy woman's home, Raffles finds himself embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. As the police close in on him, Raffles must use all of his cunning and wit to evade capture and clear his name. The novel is full of twists and turns, and the reader is kept guessing until the very end. A Thief In The Night is a thrilling and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of classic mystery novels.If I must tell more tales of Raffles, I can but back to our earliest days together, and fill in the blanks left by discretion in existing annals. In so doing I may indeed fill some small part of an infinitely greater blank, across which you may conceive me to have stretched my canvas for the first frank portrait of my friend.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
