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 Sherlock Holmes, the world's most famous detective. In
'The Blonde Lady', Holmes 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 Sherlock Holmes 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.
