The suave adventures of a gentleman rogue—a Fren c h Thomas Crown Created by Maurice LeBlanc during the early twentieth century, Arsène Lupin is a w it ty confidence man and burglar, the Sherlock Holmes of crime. The poor and innocent have nothing to fear from him; often they profit from his spontaneous generosity. The rich and powerful, and the detective who tries to spoil his fun, however, must beware. They are the tar get of Arsène’s mischief and tomfoolery. A master ful thief, his plans frequently evolve into el abo rate capers, a precursor to such cinematic creations as Ocean’s Eleven and The Sting . Sparkling with amusing banter, these stories—the best of the Lupin series—are outrageous, melodramatic, and literate.
