Synopsis

The national burglar of France faces off against the national detective of England in two unforgettable stories. Originally released as Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes because of copyright issues, we have taken the liberty of replacing the counterfeit names originally published with those of the original sleuth himself, Sherlock Holmes (in the place of Herlock Sholmes) and his faithful Dr. Watson (in the place of Wilson). The result is an experience for the ages that you won't want to miss.

Three desperate crimes each proclaim the orchestration of Arsène Lupin (master of disguise, historian, fine-art expert, and gentleman thief). How did he do this, given their sheer impossibility and absolute lack of clues? All three of these burglaries couldn't have logically happened, and the valuable pieces are, indeed, missing. Though Inspector Ganimard, who has already arrested Lupin once, does his very best, he is at a complete loss. Finally, the great Sherlock Holmes himself is brought in to bring the elusive Lupin to justice.

Both are at the very pinnacles of their respective professions, and each gives as well as he gets in this royal battle of wits. Don't miss this extravagant game of plot and counterplot with two of the greatest characters in the mystery genre: Sherlock Holmes and Arsène Lupin.

Lupin debe ser uno de los personajes más audaces e icónicos de los clásicos policiacos. Me encanta su concepto, su personalidad, y fue interesante ver otras facetas de él en este libro gracias a su némesis: Herlock Sholmes.......more

"Encuentro extraordinariamente gracioso que, en la aventura que nos ocupa, sea yo el genio del bien, que socorre y salva, y usted el genio del mal, que lleva la desesperación y las lágrimas" Ya sabía que me iba a gustar más este libro que el primero, debido como comenté a que el primero al ser un con......more
