The Return Match is a classic mystery novel written by E. W. Hornung. The story follows the adventures of the gentleman thief A. J. Raffles and his sidekick Bunny Manders as they plan and execute a daring burglary. The target is a wealthy businessman who has recently returned from a trip to India with a valuable diamond. Raffles and Bunny hatch a plan to steal the diamond during a high-stakes cricket match between England and Australia, which the businessman is attending. As they prepare for the heist, they must navigate a web of deceit and betrayal, including the unexpected arrival of an old enemy. With the clock ticking down to the match, Raffles and Bunny must use all their wits and cunning to pull off the perfect crime. The Return Match is a thrilling and suspenseful tale of crime and adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.But listen to this; here's an account of the escape; with just the addition which puts the thing on a higher level. The fugitive has been traced to Totnes, where he appears to have committed a peculiarly daring outrage in the early hours of this morning. He is reported to have entered the lodgings of the Rev A. H. Ellingworth, curate of the parish, who missed his clothes on rising at the usual hour; later in the morning those of the convict were discovered neatly folded at the bottom of a drawer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
