"In this novel, as in the previous ones from Mr. Hornung's pen, there is a wealth of well-handled incidents. It is story-telling of the most direct kind and holds the attention from the first page to the last Mr. Hornung seems to us in each succeeding book from his pen to gain in confidence and authority, and we do not hesitate to place him among the first of the comparatively new writers who must be reckoned with."—Literature.

"Raffles is amazing; his resource is perfect; he talks like a gentlemen and acts like one, except when occupied with pressing business in another man's house, at midnight, and naturally he has a 'cool nerve,' a nerve positively arctic. They all have nerves like that, these Raffleses."—New York Tribune.
