Summary "Lord Lister No. 0027: Letter R. 100" by Theo von Blankensee and Kurt Matull is a fictional narrative that seems to have been written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the cunning and audacious master thief named John Raffles, who devises clever schemes to outsmart the authorities and acquire large sums of money, often leaving chaos in his wake. The narrative suggests a theme of cat-and-mouse between Raffles and law enforcement, primarily focusing on his latest audacious plan to extract a significant amount of cash from the Bank of England. The opening of the story introduces John Ruster, the director of the Bank of England, who is confronted with a threatening demand from Raffles, requesting £10,000 in cash delivered under specific conditions. The bank's security team, skeptical yet intrigued by Raffles's reputation, debates how to handle the situation, led by Ruster and his secretary, Mr. Griffin. Raffles's audacity in issuing the threat is emphasized as the officials debate the nature of his criminal exploits. The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between Raffles and the detectives who are determined to prevent another successful heist, showcasing the protagonist's cleverness and the authorities' attempts to play catch-up.
