Representative International Society of Infallible Detectives (Carolyn Wells)
Carolyn Wells wrote several short parodies in which Sherlock Holmes leads a group called the International Society of Infallible Detectives. Raffles is depicted as a member of the society, along with other characters such as C. Auguste Dupin and Arsène Lupin. Raffles appears in four of the stories, which were published in magazines: “The Adventure of the ‘Mona Lisa'” (1912), “Sure Way to Catch Every Criminal. Ha! Ha!” (1912), “The Adventure of the Lost Baby” (1913), and “The Adventure of the Clothes-line” (1915). ~ Raffles stories and adaptations – Wikipedia
