Arsène Lupin — The Crystal Stopper
During a house robbery, a crime is committed and two of Arsène Lupin's accomplices are arrested by the police. One is guilty of the crime, the other innocent, but both will be sentenced to death.
Lupin dedicates himself to saving the victim from a miscarriage of justice, but to succeed he will have to fight against Inspector Daubrecq, an unscrupulous blackmailer who possesses an incriminating document hidden in a crystal stopper.
In this thrilling adventure, will Arsène Lupin, the gentleman thief, the eternal seducer, the insolent one, manage to recover, save his men from the guillotine and even regain his lost honor?
Inspired by the infamous Panama Scandal, which took place between 1892 and 1893, and by Edgar Allan Poe's short story, The Purloined Letter, this is the new book in a series of twenty exciting titles that Maurice Leblanc dedicated to Lupin, one of the most striking characters in the history of detective fiction.
