夜贼(A Thief in the Night)英文简介:
 
A Thief in the Night is a 1905 collection of short stories by Ernest William Hornung, featuring his popular character A. J. Raffles. It was the third book in the series, and the final collection of short stories.
 
In it, Raffles, a gentleman thief, commits a number of burglaries in late Victorian England.
 
Hornung originally intended this to be the final appearance of Raffles.
 
In the final story, Raffles is killed during the Second Boer War and Manders returns to England badly wounded. Hornung hoped this would be a fitting end for his hero.
 
Popular demand, however, led to him writing a full-length Raffles novel, Mr. Justice Raffles, in 1909.
 
It was set before the Boer War, with Raffles in his heyday as a gentlemen thief.
