Un mutilé de guerre, le capitaine Patrice Belval déjoue une tentative d'enlèvement sur une infirmière connue sous le sobriquet de Maman Coralie. Amoureux de la jeune femme, il découvre bientôt que celle-ci est mariée, à l'occasion de l'assassinat sauvage de son mari. Ce crime est lié à une conjuration pour vider la France de ses réserves d'or (la 1re Guerre Mondiale bat son plein) et également à un mystère liant les deux jeunes gens. Pour l'aider à démêler ces écheveaux et se défendre contre un adversaire mystérieux et implacable, l'ancienne ordonnance du capitaine lui propose de faire appel à Arsène Lupin, pourtant réputé mort...

Maurice Marie Émile Leblanc (11 December 1864 - 6 November 1941) was a French novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Arsène Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Arthur Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes.The first Arsène Lupin story appeared in a series of short stories that was serialized in the magazine Je sais tout, starting in No. 6, dated 15 July 1905. Clearly created at editorial request, it's possible that Leblanc had also read Octave Mirbeau's Les 21 jours d'un neurasthénique (1901), which features a gentleman thief named Arthur Lebeau, and he had seen Mirbeau's comedy Scrupules (1902), whose main character is a gentleman thief.By 1907, Leblanc had graduated to writing full-length Lupin novels, and the reviews and sales were so good that Leblanc effectively dedicated the rest of his career to working on the Lupin stories. Like Conan Doyle, who often appeared embarrassed or hindered by the success of Sherlock Holmes and seemed to regard his success in the field of crime fiction as a detraction from his more "respectable" literary ambitions, Leblanc also appeared to have resented Lupin's success. Several times he tried to create other characters, such as private eye Jim Barnett, but he eventually merged them with Lupin. He continued to pen Lupin tales well into the 1930s.Leblanc also wrote two notable science fiction novels: Les Trois Yeux (1919), in which a scientist makes televisual contact with three-eyed Venusians, and Le Formidable Evènement (1920), in which an earthquake creates a new landmass between England and France.Leblanc was awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his services to literature, and died in Perpignan in 1941. He was buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery. Georgette Leblanc was his sister. (wikipedia.org)

Arsene Lupin is back from his tenure in WW1 and under the pseudonym D. Luis Perenna (notice anything about that name?) to solve another tangled mess of mysteries in honor of his sadly deceased friend.As a Lupin book it's one of the ones where you follow him the whole time as opposed to something like "The Hollow Needle" where the thief is more of a force of nature, although a couple of features stand out from the usual Lupin adventure mainly his constant cooperation with police force insistent on solving the case with or without "D. Luis".I felt that it reads better than previous books as well, it might just be that I'm more used to Leblanc's style of writing, the long directed monologues without interruptions, the verbose assertions of what people are doing or feeling, the (obviously) dated language and concepts but the quicker pace of the story serves that style well as well as the constant twists and recontextualization of supposedly solved events.

First appearing in 1905, Arsène Lupin is the most famous fictional character of French writer Maurice Leblanc. Gentleman thief and master of disguise Arsène Lupin is a character who often operates as a force for justice but on the wrong side of the law. Similar to Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail's fictional character Rocambole and to E. W. Hornung's gentleman thief A. J. Raffles, Arsène Lupin has been described as an inversion of Sherlock Holmes. This is somewhat ironic as Sherlock Holmes appears in one of Leblanc's early Lupin stories, an appearance which drew legal scrutiny from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In subsequent appearances Leblanc changed the name of the Sherlock Holmes character to Herlock Sholmes to avoid legal copyright action on the part of Doyle. Those stories are included in this collection which collects thirty-five of Leblanc's early Lupin short stories. The stories included in this volume include all the short stories contained in the following collections: "The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar", "Arsène Lupin Versus Herlock Sholmes", "The Confessions of Arsène Lupin", and "The Eight Strokes of the Clock". One of the most popular characters of turn of the century French literature, Arsène Lupin's literary legacy is excellently represented in this collection of his most famous stories.
