If you've already finished Netflix's Lupin, never fear-the Arsène 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, Arsène 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, Arsène Lupin is opposed by Isidore Beautrelet, a young but gifted amateur detective who is poised to give Arsène 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?
