Summary:	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.

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.
