The Hollow Needle
by Maurice Leblanc
The gentleman-thief returns in this intricately tied story of disguise, looting and love. Once again, Lupin is largely grabbing wealth from under the noses of the rich. But this time he may have met his wife... and not in his usual enemies, Inspector Ganimari or Holmlock Shearsey, but in a brilliant schoolboy who manages to penetrate his secrets and reaches his treasure! But the greatest danger may be the woman Lupin falls in love with, because he has promised her to give up her criminal life forever! Contents : Shot; Isidore Botrelet, sixth grader; Corpse; Face to face; On the track; Historical mystery; Thesis on needle; Caesar to Lupin; Hungry, sesame!; Treasures of the Kings of France.
