The Return of Arsene Lupin (1917) is a novel by Maurice Leblanc.
Blending crime fiction, fantasy, and mystery, Leblanc crafts
original and entertaining tales of adventure starring one of the
greatest literary characters of all time-Arsene Lupin, gentleman
thief. Partly based on the life of French anarchist Marius Jacob,
Lupin first appeared in print in 1905 as an answer to Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. Arsene Lupin is the world's greatest
thief, an unmatched force for good whose exploits threaten the
wealth and standing of France's most wicked men. In this
installment of Leblanc's beloved series, Lupin uses his remarkable
wit and chameleon-like ability to move undetected through
aristocratic society in order to steal, trick, and cheat his way
through life. Despite his criminal nature, he operates under a
strict moral code, only taking from those who have taken from the
poor all their lives. The Return of Arsene Lupin opens on a world
without Lupin-long thought dead, he even has a gravestone bearing
his name. The First World War has come and gone, leaving a
generation of men and women scarred irreparably. Two unlikely
friends, wounded veterans Patrice and Ya-Bon, find comfort in their
shared trauma. When Patrice is implicated in the murder of an
acquaintance, they must race against time in order to find the true
killer. In the final hour, a ghost from the past reappears to offer
his help. The Return of Arsene Lupin is a story of romance,
mystery, and crime that continues to astound over a century after
it was published. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Maurice
Leblanc's The Return of Arsene Lupin is a classic of French
literature reimagined for modern readers.
