The Return Match is a novel written by E. W. Hornung, first published in 1899. It is the fourth book in the Raffles series, which follows the adventures of A. J. Raffles, a gentleman thief, and his accomplice Bunny Manders.In this installment, Raffles and Bunny are back in London after a successful heist in the United States. However, their return is not as smooth as they had hoped. They are being followed by a detective named Inspector Mackenzie, who is determined to catch Raffles and bring him to justice.Meanwhile, Raffles has his sights set on a new target: a valuable diamond owned by a wealthy nobleman. He and Bunny devise a plan to steal the diamond, but things quickly spiral out of control when they discover that someone else is after the same prize.The Return Match is a thrilling and suspenseful novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Hornung's writing is witty and engaging, and his characters are well-developed and memorable. Fans of the Raffles series will not be disappointed by this exciting installment.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.
