Raffles has little interest in politics.He is far more interested in an object inside March's Canary Wharf penthouse.But during a perfectly ordinary burglary, Raffles discovers something considerably more valuable than the item he came to steal.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A company stolen in plain sight. A secret hidden inside its technology. And a thief who intends to steal it back.Years after leaving military intelligence, Julian Mercer built Acheron Cyber from nothing.Drawing on a lifetime spent recognising hidden patterns, hostile intent and the significance of silence, Mercer created Sentinel, a sophisticated security system designed not merely to detect attacks, but to recognise the behaviour that precedes them.Acheron became successful.Then it was taken from him.A carefully engineered corporate takeover removed Mercer from the company he founded, transferred control to investors he barely understood and left him watching from the outside as others claimed ownership of his life's work.So Mercer turns to two old schoolfriends.Harry 'Bunny' Manders is a journalist who has already discovered that respectable institutions can conceal remarkable crimes.A.J. Raffles is something else entirely.Cricketer. Gentleman. Master burglar.And when Mercer tells him that someone has stolen his company, Raffles sees the problem rather differently.If a company can be stolen, it can surely be stolen back.What begins as an investigation into boardroom betrayal soon reveals something far more dangerous. Acheron's new owners were never interested simply in its customers, contracts or intellectual property.They wanted Sentinel's memory.Buried inside years of threat data is a pattern connecting modern corporate acquisitions to people and events from Mercer's intelligence past. Companies change hands. Directors disappear. Research teams are isolated. Strategic assets quietly move beyond scrutiny.Someone has been doing this for years.And Sentinel has learnt how to recognise them.From London's glass towers and private boardrooms to the lingering shadows of Cold War intelligence, Raffles, Bunny and Mercer follow a trail of hidden ownership, old loyalties and carefully engineered betrayal.But their opponents know who Mercer is.They are beginning to understand Bunny.And, most dangerously of all, they know exactly what kind of man Raffles is.To recover Acheron, Raffles must attempt one of the most audacious thefts of his career.Not money.Not jewels.Not secrets.A company.Raffles: The Silent Company is the second novel in the contemporary Raffles series, combining elegant crime, corporate intrigue, cyber security, espionage and the continuing adventures of E.W. Hornung's celebrated gentleman thief and Harry 'Bunny' Manders. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A gentleman thief. A forgotten authority. A secret powerful enough to survive two centuries.A.J. Raffles has come to Monaco for pleasure, cricket and, naturally, the occasional opportunity for theft. The last person he expects to encounter is Harry 'Bunny' Manders, his old school companion, now a journalist struggling to keep one step ahead of financial ruin.Their chance reunion soon becomes something far more dangerous.A seemingly insignificant piece of Napoleonic history points towards a secret that has passed from Corsica through generations of bankers, custodians and empires. At its heart lies the Corsican Authority, not a treasure map, but something potentially far more valuable: the power to determine who may control a vast and long-obscured legacy.Others are searching for it.A sophisticated financial network will use violence to possess it. Powerful custodians have spent generations ensuring that nobody does. And somewhere between Monaco, Corsica and Paris lies the final piece of a puzzle that once consumed a private banker and may now prove irresistible to Raffles.With Bunny once again at his side, Raffles must navigate private banks, old archives, high society and the galleries of Paris, culminating in an audacious deception in which the crime everyone sees is not the crime that matters.But when the ultimate prize is finally within his grasp, the greatest challenge may not be stealing it.It may be deciding what a thief should do once he owns it.Raffles: The Corsican Authority is the first novel in a contemporary series bringing E.W. Hornung's celebrated gentleman thief and Harry 'Bunny' Manders into the modern world, combining elegant crime, historical mystery, international intrigue and the enduring friendship at the heart of the original stories.I think this is considerably stronger for Amazon than simply reproducing the back-cover copy. It gives prospective buyers the hook, characters, stakes and genre while withholding the major twists. …
