The suave adventures of a gentleman rogueâ€”a French Thomas Crown, Created by Maurice LeBlanc during the early twentieth century, Arsene Lupin is a witty confidence man and burglar, the Sherlock Holmes of crime. The poor and innocent have nothing to fear from him; often they profit from his spontaneous generosity. The rich and powerful, and the detective who tries to spoil his fun, however, must beware. They are the target of Arseneâ€™s mischief and tomfoolery. A masterful thief, his plans frequently evolve into elaborate capers, a precursor to such cinematic creations as ,Oceanâ€™s Eleven, and ,The Sting,. Sparkling with amusing banter, these storiesâ€”the best of the Lupin seriesâ€”are outrageous, melodramatic, and literate.
