The books by French writer Maurice Leblanc about the adventures of Arsène Lupin were sold in enormous print runs during the author’s lifetime—exceeding the print runs of even Conan Doyle’s books. “[The Hollow Needle]” continues the series of novels about Arsène Lupin—the elusive thief whose exploits are reported by all the newspapers, a mysterious figure, a gentleman with inexhaustible imagination, who operates only in castles and high-society drawing rooms. Arsène Lupin is a man with a thousand disguises. The novel “The Golden Triangle” is accompanied by illustrations by French artists from the first original editions.
