Captain Belval, learning of a threat to his beloved nurse Little Mother Coralie, rescues her from her would-be assailants and is promptly dragged into a plot involving her husband and millions of francs worth of gold. As layer upon layer of conspiracy emerges with no obvious thread to follow, there's only one man who can be counted on to uncover the truth. The Golden Triangle (also known as The Return of Ars ne Lupin) is set a couple of years after the events of 813. It was published in 1917 in both the original French and this English translation, and was the first Ars ne Lupin novel penned by Maurice Leblanc since The Crystal Stopper in 1912.

Slender, elegant, refined, seductive, Ars ne Lupin, gentleman-burglar by trade, is the model of the "Belle Epoque" dandy. His intelligence, his culture, his talents as an illusionist between Fregoli and Robert-Houdin are at the service of astonishing nerve. But this accomplished man of the world is also an anarchist at heart who plays with social conventions with marvelous insolence.. Ars ne Lupin, gentleman-burglar is a collection of short stories written by Maurice Leblanc and recounting the adventures of Ars ne Lupin.. The first short story of this collection was published in July 1905 in the newspaper Je sais tout. This was the first short story featuring Ars ne Lupin. This one having success, Maurice Leblanc is encouraged to write the continuation, in several short stories. What will be done until 1907.

Maurice Marie mile Leblanc (11 December 1864 - 6 November 1941) was a French novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Ars ne Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Arthur Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes. The first Ars ne Lupin story appeared in a series of short stories that was serialized in the magazine Je sais tout, starting in No. 6, dated 15 July 1905. Clearly created at editorial request, it's possible that Leblanc had also read Octave Mirbeau's Les 21 jours d'un neurasth nique (1901), which features a gentleman thief named Arthur Lebeau, and he had seen Mirbeau's comedy Scrupules (1902), whose main character is a gentleman thief. By 1907, Leblanc had graduated to writing full-length Lupin novels, and the reviews and sales were so good that Leblanc effectively dedicated the rest of his career to working on the Lupin stories. Like Conan Doyle, who often appeared embarrassed or hindered by the success of Sherlock Holmes and seemed to regard his success in the field of crime fiction as a detraction from his more "respectable" literary ambitions, Leblanc also appeared to have resented Lupin's success. Several times he tried to create other characters, such as private eye Jim Barnett, but he eventually merged them with Lupin. He continued to pen Lupin tales well into the 1930s. Leblanc also wrote two notable science fiction novels: Les Trois Yeux (1919), in which a scientist makes televisual contact with three-eyed Venusians, and Le Formidable Ev nement (1920), in which an earthquake creates a new landmass between England and France. Leblanc was awarded the L gion d'Honneur for his services to literature, and died in Perpignan in 1941. He was buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery. Georgette Leblanc was his sister. (wikipedia.org)
