About This Book

The text follows Lord Edward Lister, the gentleman-thief known as John C. Raffles, and his companion Charly Brand as they settle in the Netherlands and deploy elegant disguises and clever schemes to expose swindlers, recover stolen wealth, and aid the needy. Episodes range across Dutch cities and seaside resorts, depicting his polite manners, James the loyal servant, and recurrent clashes with law enforcement while he performs daring jewel-related adventures, including a theft in Amsterdam that opens with a domestic scene in Regent Street. The narratives mix light humor, suspense, and cunning capers framed as self-contained stories.
