legal challenge by Holmes' creator, Leblanc still manages to pull
off one of the greatest fictional mashups of all time. Partly based

Sherlock Holmes. Blending crime fiction, fantasy, and mystery,

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. In this novel, Lupin forces French authorities to bring in
an investigator capable of put a stop to his escapades. Across the
English Channel comes Herlock Sholmes, the legendary British
detective, and his trusted assistant Wilson. Although they are of a
different breed than their adversary, who remains focused and stoic
throughout, Sholmes and Wilson, despite their humorous outlook,
prove more than capable of catching the gentleman thief. Arsene
Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes is a story of romance, mystery, and crime
that continues to astound over a century after it was published.

Maurice LeBlanc became famous for the creation of Ars?ne Lupin, a
gentleman thief and master of disguise. LeBlanc was born to a
wealthy family, studied law, worked as a police reporter for a
time, then found his career as a fiction writer. His first Lupin
novel, was hugely popular and set the pattern for his career. While
LeBlanc wrote much other fiction, it was the Lupin series which
made him internationally famous, the French equivalent of Arthur
Conan Doyle.
Selected by Ellery Queen as one of the 125 most important books of
detective-crime-mystery short stories!
THE EIGHT STROKES OF THE CLOCK
These adventures were told to me in the old days by Ars?ne
Lupin, as though they had happened to a friend of his, named Prince
R?nine. As for me, considering the way in which they were
conducted, the actions, the behaviour and the very character of the
hero, I find it very difficult not to identify the two friends as
one and the same person. Ars?ne Lupin is gifted with a powerful
imagination and is quite capable of attributing to himself
adventures which are not his at all and of disowning those which
are really his. The reader will judge for himself. -- Maurice
LeBlanc

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

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 Château de Roborey, a family
secret, and a name from the distant past. With a beautifully
