| Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0020: De bloeddorstige" by Kurt Matull and Theo von Blankensee is a fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the intriguing character John Raffles, who finds himself embroiled in a web of crime, as he investigates the mysterious death of a jeweler named Morton and encounters the notorious Italian mafia known as the Zwarte Hand. At the start of the narrative, Raffles shares with his friend Charly Brand a strange occurrence he witnessed involving two men dragging what appears to be an unconscious woman. As he follows the scene, he becomes suspicious about the woman’s intentions, suspecting criminal activity related to Morton, who turns out to be dead. Raffles' deductive instincts kick in as he uncovers potential ties to the mafia, leading him to believe a significant crime has taken place. Subsequently, he plans to delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding Morton and the stolen jewels, hinting at a larger conflict with the mafia that will unfold in the chapters to come.
