'I am a man who has nothing to lose. I am a man who has everything to gain.'

First serialised in the French magazine Je sais tout in 1908, The Hollow Needle is one of Maurice Leblanc's most famous novels featuring the iconic character of Arsène Lupin.

Charismatic and roguish, gentleman thief Arsène Lupin returns once again in a quest to locate the 'Hollow Needle', a centuries-old legend said to contain the gold and precious jewels belonging to generations of French aristocracy. Isidore Beautrelet, a precocious young detective, is hot on Lupin's heels as he attempts to crack the mystery of the Hollow Needle and swindle its fortune. Despite Lupin's cunning tricks and disguises, Beautrelet gets closer and closer to the truth in what becomes a thrilling battle of intellect and wit. This audiobook edition is expertly 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.
