A Thief in the Night is a collection of short stories featuring A. J. Raffles, the charming gentleman thief created by E. W. Hornung. Published in 1905, the tales explore Raffles’s daring exploits, clever heists, and close escapes, often aided by his companion Bunny Manders. Hornung’s stylish writing, witty dialogue, and sympathetic portrayal of a criminal hero offer a refreshing twist on Victorian morality. The collection remains a classic of crime fiction and a delightful counterpart to the more conventional detective stories of the era.
