Lord Lister No. 0399: Een gevaarlijk Avontuur by Matull and Blankensee
"Lord Lister No. 0399: Een gevaarlijk Avontuur" by Matull and Blankensee is a fictional adventure novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows the exploits of John Raffles, known as the Gentleman Thief, who is engaged in a dangerous game against a young female criminal named Canny Macleod, dubbed the "Meisje met de Madonna-Oogen." They both navigate the treacherous streets of New York, where Raffles attempts to thwart Canny's
criminal activities while dealing with the complexities of love and betrayal. The opening of the novel sets the stage in New York, where crime appears to be on the rise due to a wave of robberies orchestrated by the cunning Canny Macleod. She is described as a beautiful young woman with an innocent facade, using her charm to lure wealthy victims before attacking them with a chloroform-soaked handkerchief. As Raffles and his companion Charly Brand prepare to confront this dangerous adversary, they devise a plan involving the use of a bloodhound to track Canny's movements. The tension escalates as Raffles not only seeks justice for the victims but also grapples with the allure of Canny's fascinating yet criminal character, promising a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase ahead.
