Lord Lister No. 0011: De diamanten van den hertog van Norfolk

A clever London gentleman, known only as Lord Lister, has turned the art of espionage into a high‑stakes game of financial intrigue. Using a secret wire‑tap to eavesdrop on bank officials, he forges credentials and slips through the doors of deposit banks with the poise of a seasoned thief. His steadfast companion, Charly Brand, watches the scheme unfold as Lister extracts a hundred pounds from each branch, all while maintaining a flawless façade. The duo darts through fog‑filled streets in a polished carriage, their movements as precise as the ticking of a pocket watch.

Just as the plan reaches its climax, an unexpected figure steps out of the shadows—Inspector Baxter, a determined police officer who seems to recognize Lister’s every move. The encounter raises the stakes, hinting that the chase may be far from over. Listeners will be drawn into a world of Victorian intrigue, where clever deception meets relentless pursuit.
