Lord Lister No. 0388: Een nieuwe Strijd

A midnight carriage races through a lonely London road, its hidden passenger barely able to speak through the searing pain of a cruel torture. John Raffles, the legendary gentleman‑thief, lies bruised but defiant, while his younger ally Charly Brand watches with fierce loyalty. Their conversation reveals a deadly game of cat‑and‑mouse: Raffles has been captured by Irwin Stanley, the newly crowned leader of the shadowy Golden Key Society, a sprawling network of thieves and murderers that has long haunted the city.

As the two men grapple with their wounds, the narrative unfolds the uneasy balance of power between Raffles’s relentless pursuit of justice and Stanley’s ruthless ambition. Listeners will be drawn into a world of high‑stakes intrigue, where alliances shift, secrets are bartered, and a single mistake can ignite the next great struggle in the darkness of Victorian London.
