253,95 kr. Arsène Lupin¿s attempted robbery of the deputy Daubrecq has gone horribly wrong, leaving behind a murdered man and two of his accomplices in the hands of the police. Now he finds himself pulled into an ever more conspiratorial spiral as he attempts to gain leverage over the people who can free his men. Set before the events of the preceding 813, this again portrays Lupin in a much different light to the earlier books. At times almost coming to despair, this story shows him grappling with his personal morals whilst trying to do the best for those closest to him.The story was originally serialised in Le Journal in 1912, before being published as a novel in both the original French and this English translation by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos in 1913.

253,95 kr. When Dorothy, ropedancer and palmist, arrives at the Château de Roborey with her circus, she¿s already observed strange excavations at the grounds. Fate reveals a familial connection and drags her and her motley crew of war orphans into a quest for long-lost ancestral treasure, but her new-found nemesis is always close on her trail.Maurice Leblanc, most famous for his Arsène Lupin stories, here switches to a new protagonist, but fans of his other work will find her strangely recognisable. Indeed, the mystery presented here is later referenced in The Countess of Cagliostro as a puzzle that Lupin did not have time to solve. This book was originally serialised in Le Journal between January and March 1923, and was published in novel form both in French and in this English translation later in the year. It was also later adapted as a French-language made-for-TV movie in 1983.

308,95 kr. While watching a film, Véronique d¿Hergemont spots her childhood signature mysteriously written on the side of a hut in the background of a scene. Her visit to the location of the film shoot deepens the mystery, but also provides further clues that point her towards long-lost relations and a great secret from ancient history: a secret that will require the services of a particular man to unravel.The Secret of Sarek was published in the original French in 1919, and in this English translation in 1920. It was Maurice Leblanc¿s first Arsène Lupin novel written after the Great War, and its impact on Leblanc is palpable: the novel has a much darker tone than earlier works, and even the famous cheery charm of Lupin is diluted. The result is a classic horror story, bringing a new dimension to the series.

223,95 kr. Maurice Leblanc s¿est amusé ici avec son compère André de Maricourt à revisiter toute une série de contes et légendes à travers les aventures d¿un jeune garçon Pierre et de sa complice Violette ; ce roman très original nous replonge dans les histoires de notre enfance entre nostalgie et romantisme : un roman à savourer au coin du feu" Contre la fenêtre, à l¿extrémité du grand salon, il y avait une table, sur cette table un fauteuil, sur ce fauteuil un tabouret, et sur ce tabouret un petit garçon qui, à l¿aide d¿un caillou serti dans une bague de plomb, faisait mine de couper l¿une des vitres supérieures.Tout cela formait une pyramide miraculeuse, mais un peu branlante, si branlante même que, par suite de la défaillance du tabouret, le petit garçon n¿eut que le temps de s¿accrocher à l¿un des rideaux de damas cerise, tandis que s¿écroulait avec fracas l¿édifice, péniblement construit.À l¿autre bout du salon, dans une partie lointaine qui formait boudoir, une jeune femme laissa échapper un cri d¿effroi..."
