In Maurice Leblanc's thrilling adventure, the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin faces his greatest challenge. Two of his trusted men have been sentenced to death after a bungled burglary at the home of Deputy Daubrecq, a corrupt politician hiding a deadly secret: a list of names concealed within a crystal stopper—evidence that could condemn several parliamentarians. Racing against time and the relentless detective Ganimard, Lupin must outwit the cunning Daubrecq, rescue his condemned comrades from the guillotine, and recover the elusive crystal stopper. Filled with daring escapes, disguises, romance, and brilliant deduction, this masterpiece showcases Lupin at his most audacious.
