The Great Beginning

Theo von Blankensee

Sinopse

This is the first English-language translation of the book that launched the long-running Lord Lister, Alias Raffles mystery series. This popular Dutch creation first appeared in 1910 and ran hundreds of volumes over the next decade.
 
In the first volume, Lord Lister (Raffles) is well into his life of crime, and he acquires a sidekick, tries to outwit the police, and must escape the unscrupulous men he has been targetting -- who now want him dead!
 
Inspired by the A.J. Raffles tales of E.W. Hornung, this series was clearly a near complete copy, but has a unique charm of its own. The first book includes an introduction by mystery author John Gregory Betancourt, who also translated it.

Jane, Carly and Rose Savage are savage by name, savage by nature.
Having lost their mum too young, and with a bedridden father too ill to work, the sisters learnt early to stand on their own two feet.
The family's flat in the rough streets of Glasgow's Haghill is their fortress, but when Carly's ex-boyfriend Cole Alexander is released from prison, trouble soon comes knocking at their door. The Alexanders have beef with the Savages, so the girls call for back up in the shape of their uncle Eddie and his two gorgeous but dangerous sons, Harry and Dean.
As a turf war breaks out, the Savage sisters have choices to make. Stick to the straight and narrow or fight for what they deserve? And when the vicious girl gang Jane used to lead, the Unbeatable Bitches, are thrown into the mix, their minds might be made up for them. Because once a Savage always a Savage, and when the chips are down, there's no one more deadly than a Savage sister.
