Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes: Arsène Lupin: Book #2

'I pride myself on always being a gentleman, but sometimes a gentleman must resort to less gentlemanly methods.'

The fabulous second instalment of stories featuring the mischievous gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin, in a battle of wits against none other than Herlock Sholmes, a parody of Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic character.

Split into two narratives, 'The Blonde Lady' and 'The Jewish Tramp', Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes sees the charming yet pesky Lupin pull off daring heists and the thieving of precious items, only to mysteriously disappear. Herlock Sholmes, brought to France to catch our infamous protagonist, is hot on Lupin's tail. However, known as a master of disguise, Lupin always seems to be one step ahead. Thoroughly entertaining and pacey, this cat-and-mouse chase between the two characters sees a perfect blend of satire, suspense and comedy, as Leblanc cements himself as one of the best crime writers of his time. This audiobook edition is brilliantly read by Rupert Degas. Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) was a French journalist, novelist and short story writer. He was primarily known for inventing the fictional thief Arsène Lupin, often considered the French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes.
