| 520 | _a"Lord Lister No. 0033: De Alarmkreet" by Kurt Matull and Theo von Blankensee is a serialized crime adventure story written in the early 20th century. It follows the gentleman-thief John C. Raffles (Lord Lister) and his loyal aide Charly Brand as they target a scurrilous London weekly, De Alarmkreet, whose editor Röttger and his partner “the Beautiful Guido” extort and slander for profit. Raffles mounts an elaborate sting to expose the blackmailers, protect their victims, and simultaneously outmaneuver the ever-harried Inspector Baxter. The opening of the story paints De Alarmkreet as a gaudy yet shabby scandal sheet that hides its editors and survives by shaking down the vulnerable. After the paper smears Raffles, Charly meets fur-merchant Thomas Spancer, who is being blackmailed over a shopgirl’s attempted suicide. Raffles then lures editor Röttger by posing as “Detective Marholm,” brandishing a forged “Raffles-to-Baxter” letter that suggests police collusion, which prompts Röttger and Guido to try extorting Inspector Baxter directly. The real Marholm overhears, privately contacts Raffles, and agrees to help spring the trap. Next, Raffles masquerades as “Lord Melbourne,” the supposed poisoner of his stepmother, and receives the pair in his villa with Charly disguised as a butler, setting up a “salutary lesson” as the confrontation begins.
