If you’ve already finished Netflix’s Lupin, never fear-the Arsene Lupin books have plenty of mystery to keep you occupied while waiting for the next part of the series. The French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes, Arsene Lupin is both a brilliant detective and a dashing master criminal with his own strong code of ethics.

Slender, elegant, refined, brilliant, and seductive, he is the model of the Belle Epoque dandy. His intelligence, culture, and talents as an illusionist are all at the service of his astonishing nerve. But this accomplished man of the world is also an anarchist at heart, playing with social conventions with marvelous insolence.

In 813, when millionaire Rudolf Kesselbach is found dead, the evidence points to Arsene Lupin as his killer. Proclaiming his innocence, Lupin insists on heading the police search for the real murderer. The mystery involves a package of letters written to German statesman Otto von Bismarck, a clock on which the number 813 has an important significance, and a reigning emperor who must make several journeys incognito. Murders by the dozen, suicide, and mild forms of torture are the warp and woof of this greatest adventure of the wily gentleman-thief.
