Summary "Lord Lister No. 0004: De miljoenenschat in de Doodkist" by Matull and Blankensee is a fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Lord Lister, known as Raffles, and his friend Charly Brand as they engage in a daring plot to uncover and possibly steal a hidden fortune, supposedly secured in a coffin, while navigating encounters with corrupt officials. The narrative is infused with intrigue, deception, and the perilous undertakings characteristic of a heist genre. The opening of the book introduces us to a tense scenario in the dining hall of the Hotel "Sint Petersburg" in Irkutsk, where Raffles overhears a suspicious conversation between two gentlemen, a governor and his associate. Raffles' keen observations lead him to believe that the men are involved in shady dealings concerning a large sum of stolen money concealed in a coffin. As he shares his dangerous intentions with Charly, they devise a plan to infiltrate their hotel rooms to eavesdrop on the conspirators, hinting at the high-stakes adventure to come. This setup establishes a motif of tension and excitement, indicating that the plot will unfold with clever maneuvers and risks associated with crime and moral dilemmas.
