This early work by Ernest William Hornung was originally published in 1897 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Dead Men Tell No Tales' is a novel about a survivor of a shipwreck who is plagued by memories of the drowned. He finds out there were other survivors and a tale of smuggling and greed unravels. Ernest William Hornung was born in Middlesbrough, England in 1866. After working briefly as a journalist, and publishing a series of poems in The Times, Hornung created the character for which he is best-remembered: A. J. Raffles, a "gentleman thief" plying his trade in Victorian London.

Ernest William Hornung (1866 –1921) was an English author and poet known for writing the A. J. Raffles series of stories about a gentleman thief in late 19th-century London. Hornung was educated at Uppingham School; as a result of poor health he left the school in December 1883 to travel to Sydney, where he stayed for two years. He drew on his Australian experiences as a background when he began writing, initially short stories and later novels.

There's a hard-boiled plot that starts with a disaster at sea. There's stolen gold and gun-play. There's suspense, there's a good guy, some really bad guys, and at least two complex characters who contain a modern amount of both good and bad. One of whom is a dame. Wait, I don't think that word came into fashion until a couple of decades after this book was written. But, still, it seems to fit.
