Lord Lister No. 0119: Het Genootschap der Droomers

In the smoky drawing rooms of an Amsterdam villa, the legendary London gentleman‑thief John C. Raffles finds himself drawn into the curious circle known as the Society of Dreamers. A flamboyant youth, Richard “Pim” Mollen, introduces Raffles to a puzzling artifact—a gilded skull that seems to whisper of hidden crimes. As rumors of unsolvable mysteries circulate, Raffles' reputation for cracking the impossible is put to the test.

Lord Lister, a shadowy benefactor with ties to distant colonies, offers Raffles a chance to uncover the secret behind the skull, promising untold rewards if the enigma is solved. The narrative weaves witty banter, smoky cafés, and the glitter of Amsterdam’s canals into a game of deduction where alliances shift as quickly as the wind. Listeners are invited to follow Raffles’ keen mind through a maze of clues, daring wagers, and the charming eccentricities of a society that lives more in imagination than reality.
