Herein chronicles the exploits and adventures of Ars ne Lupin, a
burglar who blends effortlessly into high society, adapting a
gentlemanly persona as a cover for his criminal misdeeds. This
classic crime caper established the antihero character of Ars ne
Lupin, who is the archetypal gentleman thief. A master of disguise,
Lupin demonstrates an effortless ability to transition between high
society and his actual profession of burglar. Charming and dapper
to a fault, Lupin appears to his contemporaries as the consummate
embodiment of a refined gent. Using his wit, cunning and numerous
connections in the upper reaches of the social strata, Lupin
orchestrates a number of thefts which leave Parisian society
stunned and flabbergasted. In this story Lupin steals a number of
motor cars - at the time a rare, expensive and cumbersome haul -
and a treasured family heirloom pendant. Originally written and
published in French, this novel was swiftly translated to English.
