Summary: "Lord Lister No. 0022: De goudmaker" by Kurt Matull and Theo von Blankensee is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story features John Raffles, a cunning and skilled burglar, who embarks on a daring scheme involving America’s wealthy elite, particularly targeting their greed and weaknesses. With his assistant, Charly Brand, Raffles navigates the treacherous world of con men, trust kings, and political machinations. At the start of the book, John Raffles expresses his intent to engage in a daring financial venture against America’s wealthiest men, believing they exploit the suffering of the common people. Raffles and Charly Brand travel from London to America, where Raffles sets his sights on Mr. Brown, a "trust king" in copper mining. During their journey on a luxurious train, Raffles overhears a conversation that reveals the nefarious plans of various wealthy individuals. When the train is intercepted by a band of robbers, Raffles seizes the opportunity to turn the situation to his advantage, deftly outsmarting both the criminals and the wealthy passengers to gather riches. The opening chapters introduce both the characters and the underlying theme of moral ambiguity as Raffles seeks to exploit the greedy elite for what he perceives as a greater good.
