Lord Lister No. 0356: Het verdrag met de Oekraïne

The narrative opens at an elegant diplomatic soirée hosted by the Ukrainian chargé d’affaires, whose household and accomplished daughter provide social texture while guests discuss uncertain political developments. Central to the action is a celebrated philanthropist whose public persona conceals a wanted criminal identity, accompanied by a youthful, lively secretary. As conversations about a treaty and the republic’s future proceed, deception, espionage, and diplomatic maneuvering surface, setting off a sequence of clandestine operations and adventures that blend social observation with crime and international intrigue.
