A novella and two short stories from the pen of Sarah Rayne, who has been referred to as the 'Dark Lady of Crime Fiction'.
In 'The Unknown Crime and The Forgotten Manuscript', she creates a modern-day Raffles/Lovejoy. As the youngest of a family of gentlemanly burglars, forgers and art fraudsters, he has long since yearned to commit a crime so dazzling it will create international headlines and echo down the years. When he discovers his great-grandfather carried out an audacious theft a hundred years earlier, he believes his ambition could be within his grasp. 'The Forgotten Manuscript' holds out the same promise, after he makes a remarkable find in the library of an Elizabethan manor house.
In 'A Clever Evil' a journalist reporting from a war-torn city, is lured into a macabre trap.
'A Strange Retribution' recounts how a writer discovers an unexpected document that contains a startling confession.
Genre: Mystery
