Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0025: De bankdirecteur" by Kurt Matull and Theo von Blankensee is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around John Raffles, a master thief with a complex past, who becomes embroiled in a criminal plot involving a bank and a deceitful bank director, Mr. Geis, also known as Stein. As Raffles navigates the world of deception and crime, he encounters various challenges that test his skills and resolve. The opening of the book introduces us to John Raffles and his friend Charly Brand, as they watch a performance at the Garrick Theater. Just returned to England after a stint in Paris, Raffles expresses discontent with the state of theater and hints at plans to move to Berlin, where he believes he could encounter a more competent police force. Raffles reveals his past dealings with Mr. Geis and how their interactions led him into a web of crime and betrayal. As Raffles recounts events that led to his current situation, readers are drawn into a world of intrigue involving deceit, hidden treasures, and the high stakes of criminal enterprise, as Raffles prepares to confront the individual who has plagued him for years.
