| Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0023: Het geheim van den ring" by Matull and Blankensee is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a grim setting, primarily in Whitechapel, London, and follows the life of a dying man who is concerned for his daughter, Ellen, amidst their desperate circumstances. Central to the plot is a mysterious ring that harbors significant secrets related to wealth and identity. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to an ill father, Werner von Eichstädt, who lies on his deathbed, worrying about his young daughter, Ellen, who risks her safety on the streets to support both of them. As he reflects on his troubled past and the love for his daughter, a shadowy figure enters the room seeking something mysterious, triggering a series of events that impact the characters profoundly. After a tense encounter, Ellen arrives and learns of a family secret involving a ring that holds the promise of a brighter future, setting the stage for a quest intertwined with danger, treachery, and the hope of reunion with her long-lost mother.
