Arsène Lupin, gentleman-cambrioleur

The first adventures of Arsène Lupin, the gentleman burglar who robs the rich with style and never uses violence. He is arrested on board a transatlantic liner, empties a baron's château while still behind bars, escapes from the Santé prison, and finally comes face to face with the English detective Herlock Sholmès. Each story is a small puzzle solved in a few pages, with a last twist. Nine short stories, quick to read and full of dialogue.
