| Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0008: In de Catacomben van Parijs" by Matull and Blankensee is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Lord Edward Lister, who is also known as Raffles, a fugitive English nobleman in Paris. As he attempts to evade capture and escape his past, Lister’s journey unfolds alongside his companion, Charly Brand, capturing the tension of their thrilling escapades. The opening of the book sets a mysterious atmosphere in a foggy London, where Lister and Charly anxiously await their train to Dover, bound for France. News of Lister's notoriety as the criminal Raffles circulates through the crowd, heightening the sense of urgency. Having disguised himself to evade the police, Lister embarks on a plan to lay low in Paris while navigating a web of intrigue that includes theft, encounters with dangerous women, and a pursuit of vengeance against those who have harmed his friend. The dramatic events that follow establish a gripping narrative filled with suspense and moral complexity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
