Arsène Lupin - Gentleman-Gauner

'Arsène Lupin – Gentleman-Thief' is the first volume of the adventures of the master thief Arsène Lupin. The famous French burglar appears in various disguises and constantly outsmarts the police. Even during his arrest and time in the most notorious prison in Paris, he remains one step ahead of his adversaries and mocks them. No amount of money, jewelry, or art objects is safe from him. Even the world-renowned British detective Sherlock Holmes stands no chance against Lupin. Only the love for a woman could lead to the gentleman-thief's downfall. This volume is a collection of nine crime stories that are interconnected through a framing narrative. All adventure volumes of Arsène Lupin are self-contained and can be read independently. This contemporary new translation of the classic crime novel 'Arsène Lupin, gentleman-cambrioleur' by Maurice Leblanc is done by the well-known crime author Martin Barkawitz.
