Lord Lister No. 0381: De Misdaad in Sutherland Avenue

In the quiet, moon‑shrouded streets of London’s West End, two impeccably dressed gentlemen slip from the last night train and make their way toward a recently built Renaissance‑style villa on Sutherland Avenue. The older of the pair, Lord Edward Lister—known in the underworld as the Gentleman‑In‑breaker—pauses to check his watch, his sharp eyes taking in every detail before the planned intrusion. Beside him walks his younger associate, Charly, whose delicate features belie the daring role he plays in the scheme. Together they stalk the elegant house, timing their move for just after two in the morning, when the city’s usual bustle has faded into silence.

Lister is not a common thief; he is a seasoned mastermind who has eluded Scotland Yard for years, turning each capture attempt into a theatrical escape. His motives are layered: the loot is meant to fund a personal crusade to right the injustices he perceives in a rigid society. As he and Charly ready themselves on the dimly lit terrace, listeners are drawn into a tense night of meticulous planning, where every creak and shadow could tip the balance between triumph and capture.
