About this ebook

'An irresistable gentleman thief.' - Vanity Fair

A gunshot echoes in the night. It is widely agreed that the victim was none other than the cunning burglar and master of disguise Arsène Lupin. But could Lupin really be dead?

On the same night a document about a royal treasure trove known as the Hollow Needle disappears. High school student and amateur detective Isidore Beautrelet doesn't believe this could be a coincidence - Lupin must be alive and working towards his greatest theft yet.

Can Lupin get away with the crime of the century, or will the promising young detective find him first?

About the author

Born in 1864, Maurice Leblanc settled in Paris and began writing fiction after dropping out of law school. His first story featuring the dashing gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin, was published in 1905. Written at the request of an editor in response to the popularity of the Sherlock Holmes stories, Leblanc's story was a surprise success, and Lupin would go on to be as enduring and popular a character as Holmes.
