| Summary | "Lord Lister No. 0007: De speelvorst van Monaco" by Matull and Blankensee is a fiction work that appears to have been written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the character of Lord Lister, also referred to as John Raffles, who becomes entangled in the glamorous yet treacherous world of Monte Carlo's gambling scene. Central to the plot is the angst and desperation surrounding gambling addiction, illustrated through the character of Lord Montefiore, who becomes a victim of a deceitful nobleman known as the "Prince of Monaco." The opening of the story introduces us to the idyllic setting of Monte Carlo, emphasizing its beauty and the dark undercurrent of despair associated with gambling. Lord Lister and his friend Charly Brand discuss the allure of the casino and the tragedies it brings before they witness a young nobleman attempting to take his life after losing everything to gambling. Raffles, demonstrating remarkable skill and determination, intervenes to save the young man's life, uncovering his identity as Lord Montefiore. This sets off a chain of events where Raffles pledges to help Montefiore reclaim his lost honor and potentially expose the manipulative “Prince” who has exploited him, hinting at themes of deception, desperation, and redemption.
