Arsne Lupin is an audacious crook who, using his powers of deduction, commits untraceable crimes. Witty, cunning and endlessly charming, follow Lupin's colourful adventures as he rights the rich's wrongs and gives back to the poor.
In a charming combination of Sherlock Holmes and Robin Hood, Maurice Leblanc puts a French twist on these timeless tales. The titular character, Arsne Lupin, is a mischievous gentleman with an unlimited number of disguises at his disposal. His cleverness, finesse and incredible foresight make him an exceptional criminal, while his wit and humour are utterly charming.
