Arsène Lupin — The Hollow Needle
ARSÈNE LUPIN, ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED THIEVES IN THE HISTORY OF DETECTIVE FICTION, IS DEAD.
In The Hollow Needle, Arsène Lupin is found shot dead by a shotgun during a robbery at Ambrumésy Castle. What was he, the hugely famous anti-hero created by Maurice Leblanc, doing there at that hour, accompanied by his gang? Perhaps he was looking for something valuable, as was his custom, or perhaps, on second thought, he was interested only in the greatest fortune of the kings of France—a secret kept for centuries.
The evidence of Lupin's death, however, does not seem sufficient to convince Isidore Beautrelet, a young student who became a detective merely for fun and curiosity. Beautrelet, however, knows Lupin's illusory and biting style, and realizes from afar that the more certainties there are about what happened to the gentleman thief, the more reasons there are to doubt.
The Hollow Needle is one of Maurice Leblanc's most famous works. A fascinating adventure.
