Mrs. Raffles

Widowhood hasn't dulled Mrs. Raffles' ambitions. The former wife of A.J. Raffles, gentleman thief, cricketer, and the only criminal ever to outsmart Sherlock Holmes, has inherited her husband's profession with startling enthusiasm. Bunny Manders, once the faithful accomplice to the original Raffles and presumed reformed, finds himself lured back into a life of polished heists and narrow escapes. Now he serves as partner to a woman who refuses to let a little thing like her husband's death interrupt the family business. These comic tales of Edwardian-era larceny sparkle with wit and subvert every expectation of what a widow should be. Mrs. Raffles doesn't merely continue her late husband's legacy, she improves upon it, proving that crime, like cricket, requires both skill and elegance. For readers who enjoy their crime with champagne wit and a defiant glass ceiling shattered.
