Hornung is a collection of stories likely written in the late 19th century, following the escapades of A. J. Raffles, a gentleman thief known for his clever heists and charismatic demeanor. The narratives feature Raffles and his loyal accomplice, Bunny, as they navigate a world of crime, deception, and intrigue, showcasing Raffles's sophisticated criminal methods and the complex relationship between the two characters. The opening portion of the book introduces a telegram that prompts Bunny to respond to a peculiar advertisement for a male nurse wanted by a wealthy relative, Mr. Maturin. As Bunny prepares to meet Mr. Maturin, he finds himself reflecting on both his past dealings and the surprising benevolence of a family member who had previously denounced him. The narrative quickly escalates into a tense encounter as Bunny enters Mr. Maturin's sick room, revealing the stark and somewhat sinister context of their relationship. In a shocking twist, Bunny discovers that his old friend Raffles, thought to be dead, is alive and residing in the same flat, setting the stage for their further adventures together.
