Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0021: Onder de puinhoopen van Messina" by Matull and Blankensee is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Lord Lister, who becomes embroiled in a mystery involving his friend, the young Sicilian Marquis Finori. The two friends navigate themes of deception, danger, and intrigue as they seek to uncover the truth behind the sudden death of Finori's father and the secrets that threaten their lives. The opening of the book introduces us to Lord Lister and Marquis Finori, who meet in Lister's study where Finori reveals the tragic news of his father's death at sea, alongside troubling information regarding family finances. Lister expresses sympathy and vows to assist his friend, while they discuss a mysterious letter from Finori's father hinting at the guidance of a fortune teller in London. This leads Lister to propose an investigation into the matter, setting the stage for their subsequent journey as they contend with dark forces, including a hidden enemy tied to the infamous Mafia, and the potential threats to Finori's life. The tension amplifies when Lister narrowly escapes an assassination attempt, hinting at the action and drama that will unfold. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
