KNYGA Maurice Leblanc Confessions of Arsene Lupin

A master criminal with a twinkle in his eye, a baffled police force, and Paris as their playground-can anyone outwit Arsene Lupin, or is everyone just a step behind his shadow? Meet Arsene Lupin: expert in disguise, collector of secrets. Every corner of the city seems to whisper his name, from high society balls to shadowy alleys where the only thing certain is that Lupin will leave the police (and readers) both confounded and delighted. Got a puzzling murder in the Chateau de Maupertuis, missing jewels from an ambitious baron, or a distress call from a duchess? Lupin isn't just Paris's greatest mystery-he's also its biggest tease. One minute he's lounging in a velvet chair, the next, hot on the heels of a villain (or is he the villain?), all while flashing that roguish grin. With Ganimard, France's answer to Sherlock Holmes, always one clue behind, expect a whirlwind of secret messages, impossible locked-room puzzles, and infuriatingly clever escapes. Who knew justice could be so... amusing? This collection of Lupin novellas will be a very worthy successor to the previous two books by Maurice Leblanc that we have published, namely The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin and The Hollow Needle.Continuation of the detective series following Lupin, France's answer to Sherlock Holmes.
