| Summary |
"Lord Lister No. 0014: De verwisselde detective" by Matull and Blankensee is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative introduces us to the notorious thief Raffles, known as the "Great Unknown," who is central to a series of intriguing plots filled with deception and cunning. The book revolves around Inspector Baxter, who is determined to capture Raffles and must navigate the chaos that ensues as various characters become entangled in Raffles's schemes. At the start of the novel, we observe a group of men, including manufacturer Mr. Hopp and Inspector Baxter, in a private study discussing Raffles's audacious challenges and their attempts to capture him. Tension rises as a mysterious engineer, presented as Frits Reinhard, enters and behaves suspiciously near Hopp’s safe, leading to a chaotic confrontation that reveals the dark schemes surrounding the characters. As the story unfolds, Raffles's clever maneuvers begin to disturb the complacent lives of those trying to thwart him, setting the stage for a thrilling game of cat and mouse that promises unexpected twists.
