A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER
Some of my favorite fictional characters are in this Megapack. Sure, you can root for Sherlock Holmes or Charlie Chan or Hugh Drummond. But I’ll take a good old-fashioned rogue over the lot of ’em any day. Boston Blackie, A.J. Raffles, the Lone Wolf, Thubway Tham, Mr. Clackworthy, Arsene Lupin—they all hold a curious fascination, dabbling as they do in crime and punishment!
So take a walk on the seamy side of the Victorian era. (And yes, I do know I’m cheating with my dates a little bit. But we wanted to include a few latter-day rogues whose adventures are in the spirit of the original Victorian rogues.)
One note on content: now that we have published well over 170 volumes in the MEGAPACK® ebook series, it’s becoming harder to find favorite stories we haven’t already used, especially in some of the author- or character-specific volumes. Please pardon us for reusing a couple of short stories in this volume...but it’s hard to put together a Victorian Rogues collection without characters like A.J. Raffles, whose complete adventures have already appeared in The Raffles MEGAPACK®.)
Enjoy!
