The Confessions of Arsène Lupin

‘A guess that answers every question is not far from being the truth.‘ First published in 1923, The Confessions of Arsène Lupin is a collection of ten short stories following the misadventures of the charismatic and clever hero-thief, Arsène Lupin, and his criminal acquaintances. Featuring daring heists, mischievous disguises and cunning escape plans, The Confessions of Arsène Lupin sees our charming protagonist recount some of his most memorable tales. Told always with wit, candidness and a shade of pride, these remarkable stories see Lupin as a master criminal, lead detective, hopeless romantic and even champion of justice. Including ‘Two Hundred Thousand Francs Reward!‘ in which Lupin offers a reward for the capture of himself, and ‘The Invisible Prisoner‘ where he investigates the case of a man who mysteriously disappeared from a locked room, this brilliantly entertaining collection cements itself as a classic of the crime genre. This audiobook is expertly narrated by Rupert Degas. Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) was a French journalist, novelist and short story writer. He was primarily known for inventing the fictional thief Arsène Lupin, often considered the French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes.
