Arsène Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes (Arsène Lupin, #2)

A battle of wits between the nimblest French thief and the shrewdest British detective

This volume contains two adventures which pit the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin against Herlock Sholmes, the world's most famous detective. In 'The Blonde Lady', Sholmes must discover the identity of a mysterious female thief who is linked to Lupin, while in 'The Jewish Lamp' he finds out that the theft of a lamp containing a precious jewel conceals an astonishing secret.

While their tone is at times ironic and firmly tongue-in-cheek, the two stories in Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes bear all the hallmarks of classic detective fiction, and will put a smile on the lips and set the pulses racing of all fans of mystery and detective fiction.
