Lord Lister No. 0023: Het geheim van den ring

In the cramped, soot‑stained rooms of a Whitechapel lodging house, a fever‑ridden veteran clings to life, haunted by thoughts of his young daughter Ellen and the fragile hope she brings with a bouquet of violets. The gloom is broken only by the flicker of a lantern and the sudden appearance of a cloaked stranger whose scarred face and whispered threats hint at a darker purpose. As the dying man pleads for his child, the air thickens with fear and the promise of a hidden secret that could change everything.

Ellen, barely a teenager, slips into the room with a trembling candle, her dark hair and striking blue eyes reflecting both innocence and resolve. She tends to her father’s frail form while the ominous visitor vanishes, leaving behind whispers of a coveted ring that may hold the key to survival or doom. The stage is set for a tense chase through London’s underbelly, where loyalty, desperation, and a mysterious artifact intertwine.
