| Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0304: De Wraak eener Vrouw" by Hageman, Blankensee, and Matull is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the underworld of London, highlighting the struggles for power among criminals, particularly focusing on the characters John Raffles, a gentleman thief, and Dr. Fox, a rival leader in the criminal community. The narrative begins with a tension-filled atmosphere in the seedy neighborhoods of London, setting the scene for a dramatic clash of interests and vengeance. The opening of the novel introduces us to Firestreet, a gritty area populated by various nefarious characters, where the police struggle to maintain control. The central conflict revolves around the power struggle between Raffles and Fox, culminating in a dramatic confrontation in a hidden underground meeting place where criminal factions gather. As Raffles is revealed as a pivotal character aware of the inner workings of this treacherous world, the stakes are raised with a recent development—Dr. Fox has returned after escaping prison, inciting tension and the potential for violent conflict. The groundwork for a complex tale of crime, betrayal, and retribution is effectively laid, invoked by the simmering rivalry between Raffles and Fox. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
