Summary:

"Raffles is one of England's most celebrated gentlemen cricketers, but his taste for the high life is more than he can afford legally. His philosophy is very simple: 'Why should I work when I could steal?' he asks in The Ides of March. 'Why settle down to some humdrum uncongenial billet, when excitement, romance, danger, and a decent living were all going begging together. Of course, it's very wrong, but we can't all be moralists, and the distribution of wealth is very wrong to begin with'"--Publisher's website.
