"Lord Lister No. 0378: De Aanslag op de Londensche Beurs" by Kurt Matull et al. is a fictional novel written during the late 19th century. The book focuses on Lord Lister, also known as Raffles, and follows his adventures that revolve around a conspiracy potentially threatening the London Stock Exchange, highlighting themes of intrigue and danger in the financial world. The opening of the novel sets the scene in London, particularly around
the Stock Exchange and the offices of two bankers, Rosenthal and Pennock. It introduces the high-stakes environment where bankers bustle about, and the reader learns about the establishment of the Midland Credit Bank, co-owned by Rosenthal, a creator of financial success, and Pennock, who possesses incredible insight into human nature. As various characters are introduced, including Lord Aberdeen and his secretary, Charly Brand, a sense of foreboding emerges, suggesting that the seemingly mundane world of banking is on the brink of a significant crisis, potentially linked to a sinister external plot. The narrative hints at personal entanglements and moral dilemmas, particularly surrounding the character of Sonja Paviac, a typist with mysterious ties to Russian intrigues, foreshadowing the complex intertwining of love and danger.
