First appearing in 1905, Ars ne Lupin is the most famous fictional character of French writer Maurice Leblanc. Gentleman thief and master of disguise Ars ne Lupin is a character who often operates as a force for justice but on the wrong side of the law. Similar to Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail's fictional character Rocambole and to E. W. Hornung's gentleman thief A. J. Raffles, Ars ne Lupin has been described as an inversion of Sherlock Holmes. This is somewhat ironic as Sherlock Holmes appears in one of Leblanc's early Lupin stories, an appearance which drew legal scrutiny from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In subsequent appearances Leblanc changed the name of the Sherlock Holmes character to Herlock Sholmes to avoid legal copyright action on the part of Doyle. Those stories are included in this collection which collects thirty-five of Leblanc's early Lupin short stories. The stories included in this volume include all the short stories contained in the following collections: "The Extraordinary Adventures of Ars ne Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar", "Ars ne Lupin Versus Herlock Sholmes", "The Confessions of Ars ne Lupin", and "The Eight Strokes of the Clock". One of the most popular characters of turn of the century French literature, Ars ne Lupin's literary legacy is excellently represented in this collection of his most famous stories. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

If you've already finished Netflix's Lupin, never fear-the Ars ne Lupin books have plenty of mystery to keep you occupied while waiting for the next part of the series. The French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes, Ars ne Lupin is both a brilliant detective and a dashing master criminal with his own strong code of ethics. Slender, elegant, refined, brilliant, and seductive, he is the model of the "Belle Epoque" dandy. His intelligence, culture, and talents as an illusionist are all at the service of his astonishing nerve. But this accomplished man of the world is also an anarchist at heart, playing with social conventions with marvelous insolence. In The Hollow Needle, Ars ne Lupin is opposed by Isidore Beautrelet, a young but gifted amateur detective who is poised to give Ars ne a big headache. The Hollow Needle hides a secret handed down by the kings of France since the time of Julius Caesar-a fortune in pearls, rubies, sapphires, and diamonds. But who can unlock the treasure? And how?

Lupin has been depicted in countless film and stage adaptions, most recently as the inspiration of the Netflix series, Lupin, starring Omar Sy.
