Lord Lister No. 0333: De liefde van een bokser

In a rain‑soaked corner of Dickens Street, two impeccably dressed gentlemen seek shelter from an approaching storm in Victorian London. One is the notorious gentleman‑in‑the‑shadows, Lord Edward Lister, accompanied by his eager young clerk Charly Brand, on a covert errand that leads them to a grand townhouse. Inside they discover a surprising tenant: the former English boxing champion of 1912, now listed as ‘Prof. J. Stanley, Ex‑Champion.’

The rain drums on the windows as the disheveled professor appears, a boxing glove still tucked in one hand, his eyes sharp despite the bedraggled look. Lister and Charly, masters of clever deception, find themselves drawn into a world where sport and secrecy collide, hinting at a scheme that could ripple through the city’s underworld. Listeners are invited to follow their uneasy alliance through fog‑filled corridors, feeling the pulse of a London that never quite sleeps.
