Description

The Hollow Needle is a crime and adventure novel by Maurice Leblanc, originally serialized in Je sais tout magazine. This 1910 tale features Arsène Lupin, a legendary thief with a remarkable wit and chameleon-like ability to move undetected through aristocratic society.

Lupin's exploits threaten the wealth and standing of France's most wicked men, but he operates under a strict moral code, only taking from those who have taken from the poor all their lives. In this installment, Lupin discovers the secret of the Kings of France, leading him to a hidden hoard of jewels passed down since the days of the Roman Empire.

Amateur detective Isidore Beautrelet is hot on his trail, determined to stop Lupin from completing the theft of a lifetime. Despite his youth and inexperience, Beautrelet proves surprisingly capable of catching the gentleman thief. A story of romance, mystery, and crime that continues to astound over a century after its publication.
