No ratings yet

<p>The gentleman-thief <a href="https://standardebooks.org/collections/arsene-lupin">Arsène Lupin</a> returns in this set of ten short stories to confess—or perhaps boast about—his crimes to the unnamed narrator. Mostly set around Lupin’s attempts to frustrate Chief-Inspector Ganimard and pocket some cash in the process, they also show off his knack for escaping from seemingly impossible situations, and even playing the role of the master detective.</p> <p>In the chronology of Arsène Lupin, these tales were published after, but set before, the darker stories of <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/maurice-leblanc/the-hollow-needle/alexander-teixeira-de-mattos"><i>The Hollow Needle</i></a> and <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/maurice-leblanc/813/alexander-teixeira-de-mattos"><i>813</i></a>. They were serialised in <i>Je Sais Tout</i> from 1911, and collected into a single publication in 1913.</p>
