Summary: "Lord Lister No. 0015: De zilveren apostel" by Kurt Matull and Theo von Blankensee is a fictional work likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on Lord Lister, alias Raffles, a cunning and charismatic gentleman thief, who, accompanied by his assistant Charly Brand, embarks on a bold adventure across the seas to America. The story entangles themes of theft and deception, featuring Raffles as he engages with the high society and amateurs of crime. The opening of the novel introduces us to the characters as they prepare for their journey from Boulogne sur Mer to New York aboard the Holland-Amerika line. Lord Lister reveals his intentions to lighten the Americans’ wallets, showcasing his mischievous sense of humor and confidence in his criminal prowess. As they descend into the world of wealth and elite society in America, Raffles's past escapades are hinted at through his brash interactions and clever schemes, such as a bizarre letter he sends to American newspapers announcing his arrival and plans to rob their millionaires.
