| Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0005: De zwarte man in het slaapvertrek" by Matull and Blankensee is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a glamorous ball hosted by banker Von Hartstein, where a valuable diamond necklace belonging to his wife, Adelheid, mysteriously disappears. Amid swirling social dynamics and hidden emotions, themes of intrigue and suspense begin to unfold. The opening of the book introduces the opulent setting of a ball where the upper class gathers to dance and socialize. The atmosphere is disrupted when Adelheid realizes her precious necklace is missing, leading to a flurry of activity as guests and servants search for it. The narrative hints at deeper relationships, particularly between Adelheid and Lord Brigham, a tall and striking Englishman who has come to the banker's event for the first time. As concern rises about the potential theft, the banker's unease is compounded by his suspicions about his wife and her interactions with the mysterious Lord, setting the stage for a tale filled with tension, deception, and romantic turmoil.
