MR. JUSTICE RAFFLES FURTHER ADVENTURES OF A. J. RAFFLES E. W. HORNUNG A. J. Raffles is a British gentleman thief of some renown who, in this, the hero's final adventure, ironically demonstrates a sense of morality by teaching a London East End loan shark a lesson. Mr. Justice Raffles: The last (fourth) and best book about AJ Raffles. It was worth reading the first three only so as to get an idea of his character and backstory, and therefore to understand and enjoy this last book more.
