    About this ebook

    This volume is a follow-up to our Victorian Rogues MEGAPACK™ and presents no less than 31 additional tales of Victorian-era (or close to it!) villains, rogues, thieves, and criminals. You don't have to have read the previous volume, of course, since all of these works stand alone. But if you'd rather have an A.J. Raffles or Boston Blackie as the hero or center-point of a story than Sherlock Holmes or Charlie Chan, this is definitely the ebook for you!

    Author

    Arthur Morrison

    Arthur Morrison (1863–1945) was an English novelist and journalist best known for his depictions of the British working class in the slums of London’s East End. After working his way up from clerk to contributor, his first serious journalism appeared in the Globe. Hewitt’s popular detective stories featuring private investigator Martin Hewitt are considered the most successful of the numerous rivals to Arthur Conan Doyle’s tales of Sherlock Holmes.
