Summary:

After returning from the war, Bunny Manders’ pseudonymous publications have made certain that the villain AJ Raffles was dead, in the mind of the public, giving the genuine article just the wiggle room needed for he and his companion to disappear from the eyes of the law.

But certainly they can’t depart from their beloved London town without one last heist, as much for old times’ sake, as for a cushion to aid them in establishing their new lives. And what better opportunity than the upcoming Great Exhibition? Certainly all manner of strange characters are likely to turn up there.

But most importantly, Bunny and Raffles, once more bound for hell or glory, arm in arm.

(Technically a crossover with Great Ace Attorney/Dai Gyakuten Saiban, but can be easily read blind for that fandom.)

chapter 6 of 8! and a big complication.
