THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE SMASH HIT NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES LUPIN!
"And I am not sorry! It becomes monotonous to win all the time. Yesterday I had only to stretch out my hand to finish you forever. Today I belong to you. The game is yours."
France's most famous criminal and England's greatest detective match wits in the race to recover the famous Blue Diamond. A former ambassador is found murdered, and the blue jewel he once owned is stolen from its new owner. Who else could be responsible but Arsène Lupin? At their wits' end, the French police summon Herlock Sholmes to capture the elusive burglar, and the game is truly afoot.
A convoluted tale that starts with a stolen lottery ticket and ends with the arrest of Arsène Lupin, Maurice Leblanc continues the adventures of the famous gentleman-thief, pitting him against an equally famous private investigator. First published in 1908, Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes is a cat-and-mouse game where both opponents are determined to win.
