Arsène Lupin

The Arsène Lupin Collection: Books 1-10 contains the first ten collections in the Arsène Lupin series, read by Rupert Degas. In the course of these ten novels we are introduced to Lupin and see him practice his own moral form of detection and recrimination, helping those who have been left behind in twentieth-century France.

Set in 1905 Paris, Arsène Lupin is outed for stealing a woman’s jewels on board a ship sailing to America and is subsequently arrested. But as someone who is an enemy to the establishment, and plays only by his own rules, Arsène soon proves himself to be as dangerous behind bars as he was outside of them… As gripping as it is fast paced, this audiobook edition is compelling narrated by Rupert Degas.

Fine-art aficionado. Master of disguise. Jewelry expert. Historian. Gentleman. Burglar. Arsene Lupin is all of these and more. In 1905, Maurice Leblanc introduced his gentleman-burglar in the story "L'Arrestation d'Arsène Lupin". Shortly thereafter, the stories were collected as one single volume. In these charming adventures, Lupin orchestrates a myriad of extravagant heists in the very face of the determined Inspector Ganimard.

Maurice Leblanc, a writer of detective fiction during the same period as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, created Arsene Lupin, a sort of French Robin Hood. An inventive genius, a master of disguise, and an accomplished actor, Lupin operates in the choice chateaux and salons. He scorns sham and with great disdain leaves his card in a baron's residence. The card reads, "Arsene Lupin, gentleman-burglar, will return when the furniture is genuine."

Arsène Lupin, que conseguiu ser mais famoso que seu criador, nasceu por encomenda do editor Pierre Lafitte ao escritor Maurice Leblanc. Este audiolivro reúne as nove histórias A prisão de Arsène Lupin, Arsène Lupin na prisão, A fuga de Arsène Lupin, O viajante misterioso, O colar da rainha, O sete de copas, O cofre de Madame Imbert, A pérola negra e outros. Quando Lupin é preso ao descer do navio em Nova Iorque, seu biógrafo já o acompanha, pois Watson sempre acompanhará Sherlock Holmes.

The world's greatest gentleman thief is back, and this time he must summon all his brilliance and prowess to escape the clutches of his most worthy adversary: the master English Detective Sherlock Holmes! Assisted by his trusty companion Dr. Wilson, Holmes is called to Paris to investigate crimes believed to involve the legendary debonair rogue Lupin.

The national burglar of France faces off against the national detective of England in two unforgettable stories. Originally released as Arsene Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes because of copyright issues, we have taken the liberty of replacing the counterfeit names originally published with those of the original sleuth himself, Sherlock Holmes (in the place of Herlock Sholmes) and his faithful Dr. Watson (in the place of Wilson). The result is an experience for the ages that you won't want to miss.

Espirituoso, charmoso, brilhante, astuto e possivelmente o maior ladrão do mundo, Lupin se depara com o único homem que pode ser capaz de detê-lo: nada menos do que o grande cavalheiro-detetive britânico Herlock Sholmes! Quem sairá triunfante? Este clássico contém duas histórias que não permitem ao leitor tirar os olhos das páginas do livro: Em A mulher loura, dividida em seis capítulos, dois acontecimentos envolvendo uma dama loura e desaparecimentos misteriosos agitam a vida de Lupin.

A story of romance, humor, and true detective fiction, this novel begins with Arsène Lupin, a gentleman thief known for his strict moral code, forcing the French authorities to find an investigator who can put a stop to his dealings. In order to find a competitor keen enough, they must traverse the English Channel, where they find Herlock Sholmes and his assistant, Wilson - two of the most inquisitive and successful detectives in the world. Does Lupin stand a chance?

An exciting and entertaining listen for fans of detective fiction, The Hollow Needle features the popular character Arsène Lupin, gentleman-burglar and master of disguise. Intrigued by a legend concerning a hollow needle that supposedly holds a secret connected to the French monarchy–a secret that could potentially change the course of history–Lupin embarks on a quest to find the needle and unravel its mystery.

In the third installment of the Arsène Lupin series, we find our gentleman burglar up against Isidore Beautrelet, a young but gifted amateur detective who is determined to foil Lupin once and for all. As he hunts down the Hollow Needle, a needle that contains secrets that have been passed down from French kinds since Julius Caesar, Beautrelet is never too far behind.

Lupin is back to his trademark intricately plotted crimes, stealing from the wealthy with stealth and style. He easily evades the best efforts of Inspector Ganimard and the English detective Holmlock Shears, but when it comes to Isidore Beautrelet, an amateur detective still in high school, Lupin may have met his match. Beautrelet becomes quite the thorn in his side, and he may even be clever enough to thwart Lupin. But even Beautrelet may not be the greatest threat to Lupin’s schemes.

Isidore Beautrelet, a prodigy sixth-form schoolboy, has discovered more clues, revealed more truths, and anticipated more of Arsène Lupin’s movements than anyone on the police force. When Lupin recognizes an adversary of his own mettle, he counters by raising the stakes. Beautrelet does the same. Soon the two are at it hammer and tongs, each in a feverish attempt to foil the other while succeeding in their own machinations. And what began as a simple heist develops into a sophisticated chase to uncover Arsène Lupin’s greatest secret.

Charismatic and roguish, gentleman thief Arsène Lupin returns once again in a quest to locate the ‘Hollow Needle’, a centuries-old legend said to contain the gold and precious jewels belonging to generations of French aristocracy. Isidore Beautrelet, a precocious young detective, is hot on Lupin’s heels as he attempts to crack the mystery of the Hollow Needle and swindle its fortune. Despite Lupin’s cunning tricks and disguises, Beautrelet gets closer and closer to the truth in what becomes a thrilling battle of intellect and wit.

Charming rogue, Arsène Lupin, returns once again, only to find himself as the suspect in a leading murder case. After one of his previous victims, the millionaire Kesselbach, is found dead in a Parisian hotel room, the gentleman thief is determined to prove his innocence. Set to uncover the real culprit, Lupin uncharacteristically joins the police’s efforts and delves into the mystery at hand. Powerful and dangerous enemies await, seemingly orchestrating crimes from the shadows, while a dark political conspiracy threatens to end Lupin’s life as he knows it.

Over a 25-year period, author Maurice Leblanc wrote of the exploits of gentleman thief and master of disguise Arsène Lupin, to the delight of readers on the continent and elsewhere. Often referred to as France's version of Sherlock Holmes, Lupin in this early appearance is wrongfully accused of the death of a prominent German millionaire with nefarious plans. The thief and the mysterious killer find themselves in a race to find an incriminating bundle of letters that, in the wrong hands, could change the political map of the world.

Paris is aghast at the news that of one of Lupin’s victims was discovered murdered. As the bodies continue to pile up, Lupin demonstrates his indefatigable tenacity - on a mission to clear his name and discover the shattering secret of 813.

Something seems off. Lupin sensed it before it happened. When a simple burglary goes terribly wrong, and two of Lupin’s accomplices are sentenced to the guillotine, Lupin’s quest to free them reveals itself to be more twisted and darker than he’d ever imagined. Inspired by the infamous Panama scandals of 1892 and 1893, and expanding on the main concept in Poe’s The Purloined Letter, Leblanc weaves a thrilling tale of twists and turns with Lupin’s characteristic panache.

Arsène, our charming and clever protagonist who sits on the wrong side of the law, becomes inadvertently involved in a damning murder case when his two colleagues are arrested on suspicion of killing Deputy Daubrecq, a corrupt politician, during a burglary. In an attempt to clear their names and get to the truth of what happened, Lupin seeks a crystal stopper which was once in Daubrecq’s possession and holds enough political secrets to bring absolute anarchy.

When Arsène Lupin and two of his criminal associates try to rob the villa of Deputy Daubrecq, things do not go according to plan and Lupin’s two partners are arrested and sentenced to death, leaving him to try and save them from the guillotine. To achieve this, Lupin must not only evade Daubrecq but also outwit a ruthless blackmailer who holds incriminating evidence in a crystal stopper.
