Lord Lister No. 0304: De wraak eener vrouw

The narrative depicts a dingy London quarter dominated by thieves, fences, and a secret criminal society named the Society of the Golden Key. A tavern run by Red Peter conceals a hidden passage to the society’s meeting place, where underworld factions gather to plot leadership changes and betrayals. John Raffles, a gentleman burglar with intimate knowledge of the organization, remains both opponent and occasional informer, complicating police efforts. As rivalries sharpen, the unfolding plot centers on schemes of retribution, including a woman’s determined pursuit of vengeance that escalates the conflict.
