Lord Lister No. 0378: De Aanslag op de Londensche Beurs

In the heart of Victorian London, the grand Stock Exchange on Cornhill towers above a tangle of bank offices and the looming Bank of England across Threadneedle Street. Inside the bustling Midland Credit Bank, partners Rosenthal and Pennock have expanded from a handful of clerks to a thriving firm serving merchants, investors and everyday citizens. Their reputation for reliability and tireless work has made the bank a trusted pillar of the city’s credit world.

Yet a quiet tension hums beneath the polished marble, as rumors of a coordinated strike against the Exchange begin to surface. Alert porters watch the hurried clients while a crafty group of thieves eyes the heavy bronze gates, ready to seize any slip. Listeners are drawn into a world of ambition, deception and the fragile border between legitimate finance and criminal intrigue, all set against fog‑filled London streets.
