The collection “Gentlemen Rascals” includes stories by Guy Boothby, Ernest William Hornung and Frederick Irving Anderson - writers who became famous at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries for their unusual approach to the crime genre. Their characters are charming, devilishly smart and flawless in almost every way... but they play on the wrong side of the field. These are not brilliant detectives who solve complicated crimes, but brilliant swindlers who brilliantly pull off scams so subtle and complex that the reader is breathless, while the police can only bite their elbows. Being true gentlemen, they do not use violence, do not take away the latter - gracefully balancing on the brink of crime and high art, they value above all else the beauty of the idea and the virtuosity of its implementation.
