813: The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin - Gentleman Burglar
Dandy and brawler, villain and charmer, described as the criminal counterpart to Sherlock Holmes, Arsène Lupin (the gentleman burglar and absolute master of disguise) appears in more than twenty works of suspense and adventure by Maurice Leblanc, and serves as the inspiration for the current Netflix series 'Lupin'. Since his first appearance in 1905, Arsène Lupin's silhouette has frightened and entertained generations of readers.
While their tone is at times ironic and firmly tongue-in-cheek, the delightful short stories collected in 813 showcase the master of disguises at his finest, bear all the hallmarks of classic detective fiction, and include: 1) The Tragedy at the Palace Hotel, 2) The Blue-Edged Label, 3) Monsieur Lenormand Opens his Campaign, 4) Prince Sernine at Work, 5) Monsieur Lenormand at Work, 6) Monsieur Lenormand Succumbs, 7) Parbury-Ribeira-Altenheim, 8) The Olive-Green Frock Coat, 9) 'Sante Palace', 10) Lupin's Great Scheme, 11) Charlemagne, 12) The Emperor's Letters, 13) The Seven Scoundrels, 14) The Man in Black, 15) The Map of Europe, and 16) Arsene Lupin's Three Murders.
