The Secret Tomb (1923) is a novel by Maurice Leblanc. Although he
is known for his series of stories and novels featuring Arsene
Lupin, a character based on the life of French anarchist Marius
Jacob and inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, Leblanc
also wrote standalone tales of mystery and adventure. The Secret
Tomb is an entertaining blend of fantasy and crime fiction for
children and adults alike. As the sun begins to set, Dorothy grows
worried about her young comrade Saint-Quentin, a teenage boy with a
passion for adventure and a knack for troublemaking. Leaving their
caravan, a group of orphaned children living as circus performers,
Dorothy sets out into the woods to look for the boy. Remembering
the castle they had recently discovered, and recalling that
Saint-Quentin had wanted to sneak inside, Dorothy makes her way to
a stony outcrop surrounding the rampart, where she discovers a
strange man lurking. She quickly hides and watches as he opens a
passage into a hidden lair. Just then, as she sees the silhouette
of Saint-Quentin climb out from a castle window, the man aims a
rifle in her friend's direction, forcing Dorothy to abandon her
hiding place and save Saint-Quentin's life. The ensuing mystery
involves the lord and lady of the Chateau de Roborey, a family
secret, and a name from the distant past. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Maurice Leblanc's The Secret Tomb is a classic of French
literature reimagined for modern readers.
