The Woman of Mystery (1916) 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 Woman of
Mystery is an entertaining blend of history and crime fiction for
children and adults alike. Paul Delroze is no stranger to violence.
On the eve of the Great War, as a nation prepares to do battle with
the existential threat of a lifetime, Paul recalls a strange event
from his childhood. On a trip with his father, a decorated veteran,
through the French countryside, they encountered a gathering of
people speaking German. Their leader, a coldhearted man who bore a
striking resemblance to the Kaiser, quickly sent the father and son
on their way. Before they could escape, however, a woman from the
group approached Paul's father for a word and killed him in cold
blood with the flash of a steel blade. Miraculously, Paul escaped
with his life that day, but never could forget the face of that
man. Filled with memories of his father, who had served in the
Franco-Prussian War of 1870, Paul had always known the day would
come when the two nations would fight again-this time, he hopes to
take his revenge. The Woman of Mystery 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 Woman of Mystery is a classic of French literature
reimagined for modern readers.
