Summary "Lord Lister No. 0028: De koning van de club" by Kurt Matull and Theo von Blankensee is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a series of mysterious burglaries in New York City, where a thief known as John Raffles commits bizarre heists without stealing anything of value. The main character, John Raffles, is a clever and enigmatic master thief whose identity and motivations unravel as the plot progresses, set against a backdrop of the elite society of wealthy New Yorkers. The opening portion of the book introduces a tense atmosphere in the city due to a string of perplexing break-ins at the homes of millionaires on Fifth Avenue. Despite the involvement of skilled detectives, the burglar, who seems to take great delight in leaving items from the safes scattered around the homes, remains undetected. Detective Newton theorizes that the burglar may be posing as a guest at the exclusive parties held at these mansions. The narrative shifts when Inspector Harkel suggests that John Raffles, an infamous master thief, could be behind these crimes, raising the stakes for both the characters and the mystery surrounding the seemingly harmless yet unsettling intrusions. The compelling tension and intriguing character dynamics set the stage for a thrilling unfolding of events. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
