The Camera Fiend, Classics To Go

A gruesome tale! A somewhat immature teenage boy, Tony 'Pocket' Upton, goes to London to consult a doctor about his asthma and finds himself without a place to stay. He decides to spend the night in the park. The next thing he knows he is standing with a gun in his hand, and a body at his feet. The inescapable conclusion is that Pocket has shot him while sleep-walking. Another man is looking at him in horror but agrees to harbour him. Should he go to the police and confess all? Can he let someone else take the blame? And is Dr Baumgartner all he seems? (Goodreads)

E. W. Hornung

Ernest William Hornung (7 June 1866 – 22 March 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.
