| Summary | "Mr. Justice Raffles" by E.W. Hornung is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around A.J. Raffles, a charming yet morally ambiguous character known for his cricket prowess, who is embroiled in a world of crime and intrigue. The narrative follows his escapades, particularly focusing on his relationship with Bunny Manders, his close friend and confidant, who often serves as the reluctant accomplice in Raffles' schemes. The opening of the novel introduces Raffles following a mysterious disappearance, which Bunny learns about through a telegram from Carlsbad, where Raffles has been recuperating. Upon their reunion in London, Raffles reveals his pursuit of a stolen emerald necklace, which he believes rightfully belongs to Bunny. The dialogue hints at Raffles' reckless charm and Bunny's moral conflicts, setting the stage for a complex exploration of loyalty, temptation, and justice. The initial chapters expertly establish the characters' dynamics, as well as Raffles' brazen attitude and clever demeanor, inviting readers into a world of suspense and adventure.
