Hornung, best known as the creator of the gentleman thief A. J. Raffles, was a master at exploring the ambiguities of morality within his characters. 'Stingaree' displays Hornung's fascination with characters that operate on the fringes of society, deftly blurring the lines between hero and antihero.
