| Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0394: Het einde van Irwin Stanley" by Felix Hageman et al. is a fictional adventure novel likely written during the late 19th century. The book introduces readers to John Raffles, a gentleman thief embroiled in a chase against his nemesis, Irwin Stanley, as he travels to America in his high-speed flying machine. The narrative suggests a thrilling mix of mystery, crime, and the pursuit of justice, evoking an era of innovation and daring exploits. At the start of the story, Raffles navigates a futuristic flying machine over New York City, marveling at the landscape below as he prepares to land near a farm. Upon landing, Raffles and his companions, Charly Brand and James Henderson, engage with the local farm girl, Mary Cooper, establishing their intentions. As Raffles reveals he is in pursuit of the cunning criminal Irwin Stanley, who has eluded capture after a series of crimes, tension escalates. The opening hints at a complex plot involving criminal intrigue, personal vendettas, and Raffles' strategy to lure Stanley out from hiding, laying the groundwork for an exhilarating cat-and-mouse chase.
