About this episode
E.W. Hornung (right) was the brother-in-law of Arthur Conan Doyle. Hornung's own fictional detective rivaled Conan Doyle's and the two would often create stories that referenced the other. Where Conan Doyle's Holmes and Watson were the upright detectives who fantasized about becoming criminals, Hornung's A.J. Raffles and his helper Harry "Bunny" Manders were criminals - specifically amateur cracksmen.This week you'll hear CBS Radio's version of the Hornung Raffles.
