The stories follow the legendary gentleman thief known across Europe as the Great Unknown. A nobleman with impeccable manners, he uses wit and daring disguises to outwit swindlers and return stolen wealth to its rightful owners. Though a master of deception, his guiding principle is to protect the innocent and aid those the law has failed.
Now the suave rogue has set up a base in the Netherlands, sharing a villa in Amsterdam’s leafy Willemspark with his loyal young aide, Charly Brand, and the long‑serving house‑keeper James. Each episode places him amid bustling markets, student gatherings in Groningen, circus tents in Scheveningen and elegant salons in Rotterdam, where he devises colorful schemes that expose greedy criminals while delighting the local crowds. Listeners can expect clever dialogue, vivid Dutch scenery, and the charming clash between a polished English aristocrat and the everyday lives of Dutch society.
