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, we are cheating with the dates a little bit. But we wanted to include a few latter-day rogues whose adventures are in the spirit of their Victorian compatriots.) All told, it's more than 1,900 pages of great reading!Included are:The Adventures of Colonel Clay, by Grant AllenTHE EPISODE OF THE MEXICAN SEERTHE EPISODE OF THE DIAMOND LINKSTHE EPISODE OF THE OLD MASTERTHE EPISODE OF THE TYROLEAN CASTLETHE EPISODE OF THE DRAWN GAMETHE EPISODE OF THE GERMAN PROFESSORTHE EPISODE OF THE ARREST OF THE COLONELTHE EPISODE OF THE SELDON GOLD-MINETHE EPISODE OF THE JAPANNED DISPATCH-BOXTHE EPISODE OF THE GAME OF POKERTHE EPISODE OF THE BERTILLON METHODTHE EPISODE OF THE OLD BAILEYTHE COUNT'S CHAUFFEUR, by William Le QueuxBOSTON BLACKIE, by Jack BoyleTHE CHAIR OF PHILANTHROMATHEMATICS, by O.
