The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar
Maurice Leblanc, a contemporary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, created the character of Arsène Lupin, who in French-speaking countries rivaled the popularity of Sherlock Holmes. Arsène Lupin is a confidence man and thief who steals only from the rich. In this collection of short stories we are first introduced to Lupin in the following nine stories: «The Arrest of Arsène Lupin», «Arsène Lupin in Prison», «The Escape of Arsène Lupin», «The Mysterious Traveller», «The Queen's Necklace», «The Seven of Hearts», «Madame Imbert's Safe», «The Black Pearl», and «Sherlock Holmes Arrives Too Late».
The Secret Tomb
Dorothy, rope-dancer and palmist, arrives at the Château de Roborey with her circus, she’s already observed strange excavations at the grounds. Fate drags her and her motley crew of war orphans into a quest for long-lost ancestral treasure, but a new-found nemesis is close on her trail.<P> Maurice Leblanc, most famous for his Arsène Lupin stories, here switches to a new protagonist, but fans of his other work will find her strangely recognisable. Indeed, the mystery presented here is later referenced in The Countess of Cagliostro as a puzzle that Lupin did not have time to solve.
