The Hollow Needle

The Gentleman Burglar vs. The Boy Detective in the Hunt for France's Greatest Secret

Arsène Lupin, the incomparable Gentleman Burglar, has committed audacity after audacity, charming victims while relieving them of their valuables. But now he seeks a prize richer than any diamond: the legendary secret of the Kings of France. For centuries, the mysterious "Hollow Needle" has concealed a treasure trove of unimaginable wealth, hidden in plain sight yet known only to a select few elite.

Lupin, a master of disguise and misdirection, is accustomed to outsmarting the police at every turn. But this time, he has met his potential match in Isidore Beautrelet, a brilliant, tenacious young student detective determined to expose the master criminal.

From the streets of Paris to the rugged cliffs of Normandy, a high-stakes battle of wits unfolds. As ancient codes are cracked and historic secrets unearthed, the race is on to see who will unlock the fortress of the Hollow Needle first. Maurice Leblanc’s definitive Lupin adventure is a thrilling ride of grand heists, mind-bending twists and turns, and daring escapes.
