"In Victorian England, Teddy Garland, a friend of gentleman thief Raffles, is in debt to Dan Levy, a vicious moneylender. Raffles and his good friend, Bunny, pay a visit to Levy and manage to pay Garland's debt back. When Levy asks Raffles to steal a letter, which is evidence in a court case pending against him, Raffles agrees, having his own agenda. However, Levy knows nothing of this and, ultimately, Raffles puts Levy into a position where he must choose between his love for his money and life itself"--Page 4 of cover.

Work Description
First published in 1909, A Thief in the Night is the first novel detailing the exploits and intrigues of gentleman thief A. J. Raffles in late Victorian England. The novel is a darker work than the three preceding short story collections (The Amateur Cracksman, The Black Mask and A Thief in the Night.) In it a more cynical Raffles finds a corrupt moneylender, Mister Brigstock, is entrapping the young sons of the wealthy with exorbitant interest on his loans, and its up to Raffles to teach him a lesson.
