‘When I decide to escape I shall want nobody’s assistance.’ In this collection, we meet Arsène Lupin, a brilliant, alluring master of disguise – or, as some would have it, a notorious criminal. We follow him on a series of high-stakes adventures, from ingenious heists of invaluable paintings to daring escapes, each one showcasing his intellect, charm, and extraordinary ability to stay one step ahead of the law.
‘The Hollow Needle’ was Maurice Leblanc’s first novel. Lupin finds himself playing a game of cat and mouse with young, amateur detective Isidore Beautrelet. His nemesis, Detective Ganimard and the famous English detective Sherlock Holmes also make appearances. Lupin is chasing the most valuable object he has ever had the opportunity to steal: the Hollow Needle, which hides unfathomable treasure and a secret that the kings of France have been handing down since the time of Julius Caesar. Lupin’s adventures are sheer, unadulterated, entertainment.
This is a collection of short stories by French novelist Maurice Leblanc – and the inspiration for countless retellings, interpretations, and adaptations in film, television, comic books, games, and more – Lupin depicts the elaborate capers and adventures of a suave thief and master of disguise as he steals from the rich and powerful.
A stunning gift edition of the Arsène Lupin stories which inspired the hit Netflix series Lupin, with an introduction from Emma Bielecki.
