An African Millionaire by Grant Allen

An African Millionaire is the first great thief of short mystery fiction. This series of witty, ironic tales-the complete adventures of the gentleman rogue-are wonderfully entertaining in their own right, but in anticipating the work of the likes of Ellery Queen and Agatha Christie

South African businessman Sir Charles Vandrift rose to the pinnacle of his field through his keen instincts and superb acumen -- but the roguish

swindler Colonel Clay (Vandrift's longtime nemesis) is just smart enough to stay one step ahead. In this linked story cycle, the dashing

Clay endeavors to relieve Vandrift of his money and property in a variety

of amusing vignettes.
