The inspiration behind the smash hit Netflix original series Lupin!

Brilliant, charming, and a master of disguise, Arsène Lupin is quite possibly the greatest thief in the world. Whether it's a priceless painting or jewels worn by royalty, he steals only the rarest items from the rich and powerful members of society. With the determined Inspector Ganimard on his tail, the gentleman-burglar even outwits a certain famous English detective that tries to foil his plans.

Lupin's extraordinary adventures are presented as a series of short stories—each one more outrageous than the next. First published in 1905 in the French magazine Je sais tout, Maurice Leblanc's most famous creation is brash, witty, and follows his own peculiar code of ethics.
