Maurice Leblanc created Arsène Lupin in 1905, and the gentleman-burglar became France’s answer to Sherlock Holmes — only on the other side of the law. This collection of linked stories introduces the charming, cunning Lupin as he outsmarts police and detectives across Europe, always leaving them one step behind.
Leblanc’s tales are filled with ingenious disguises, impossible heists, and sardonic wit. Thoroughly entertaining and endlessly clever, this public-domain English translation is available as a free EPUB download for fans of classic crime fiction.
