Synopsis

Taking up where E. W. Hornung left off, Barry Perowne evokes the late Victorian world of A. J. Raffles and Bunny Manders's London: the fashionable Albany, cricketing matches, socialite parties. But he also brings Raffles into encounters with the unexpected--from suffragettes at Lord's cricket grounds to white slavers on the Riviera; from the exiled Oscar Wilde to Robert Louis Stevenson in Samoa, and from the young Winston Churchill to the great unsung detective: the doctor Arthur Conan Doyle.
This is a collection of short stories compiled from the various magazines where they were originally published.
