Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes

If you've already finished Netflix's Lupin, never fear-the Arsène Lupin books have plenty of mystery to keep you occupied while waiting for the next part of the series. The French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes, Arsène Lupin is both a brilliant detective and a dashing master criminal with his own strong code of ethics. Slender, elegant, refined, brilliant, and seductive, he is the model of the "Belle Epoque" dandy. His intelligence, culture, and talents as an illusionist are all at the service of his astonishing nerve. But this accomplished man of the world is also an anarchist at heart, playing with social conventions with marvelous insolence. In this collection, featuring a battle of wits between the nimblest French thief and the shrewdest British detective, Lupin finds himself pitted against aging Herlock Sholmes (a transparent reference to Sherlock Holmes, the hero of Conan Doyle's detective stories). Who will emerge as the victor? Who is the mysterious "blonde lady"? And what will happen to the elusive Blue Diamond? Only Lupin knows!
