Arsene Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes
“Sholmes? Oh! I confess he is a worthy foe.” When a writing desk containing a winning lottery ticket goes missing, fingers soon point to gentleman-thief Arsène Lupin. Lupin leaves the French police stumped, so famous English detective Herlock Sholmes and his friend Wilson are called upon to bring Lupin down.

Up against keen boy detective Isidore Beautrelet, has Maurice Leblanc’s master of disguises finally met his match?

While attempting to free his friends, Lupin must also dodge a mysterious blackmailer, who has an incriminating document rolled up inside a little crystal stopper. Going up against the ruthless detective Daubrecq and a mysterious blackmailer, master thief Lupin faces his toughest opponents yet.
