Description

"Arsène Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes" by Maurice Leblanc is a collection of stories published in 1908. This work pits France's gentleman thief Arsène Lupin against the brilliant detective Herlock Sholmes, a thinly veiled version of Sherlock Holmes. Through two adventures involving stolen lottery tickets, precious diamonds, and mysterious lamps, the master criminal and the detective engage in an elaborate game of cat-and-mouse across Paris. Their encounters feature daring escapes, clever traps, and unexpected twists as each man attempts to outwit the other. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
