A boy detective takes on the most brilliant thief in Europe, in the classic series that inspired the Netflix show Lupin. In a country manor, a terrible noise awakes the household. Downstairs, the estate’s secretary has been murdered. There are signs of a break-in, but everything appears to be in its proper place. What kind of thief would commit murder to steal nothing? The first detective on the case is Isidore Beautrelet, a precocious teenager who wears a fake beard to disguise the fact that he has not yet graduated from high school. Although the other investigators do not take him seriously, Beautrelet is the one to pick up the trail of Arsène Lupin, the gentleman thief. Lupin, it is soon discovered, is chasing the most valuable object he has ever had the opportunity to steal: the Hollow Needle. Passed down for generations by the kings of France, it holds a secret that could undo the republic. No one has ever managed to foil one of Lupin’s fiendish plans, but Beautrelet is counting on beginner’s luck.

Book Description

The Hollow Needle; Further adventures of Arsene Lupin by Maurice Leblanc Arsène Lupine this time is opposed by Isidore Beautrelet, a young but gifted amateur detective, who is still in high school but who is ready to give Arsène Lupine a big headache. In the Arsène Lupine universe, the Hollow Needle is the second secret of Marie Antoinette and Alessandro Cagliostro, the hidden fortune of the kings of France, as revealed to Arsène Lupine by Josephine Balsamo in the novel La contessa di Cagliostro (1924). The mystery of the hollow needle hides a secret that the kings of France have handed down from the time of Julius Caesar ... and now Arsène Lupine has mastered it. The legendary needle contains the most fabulous treasure ever imagined, a collection of dowry queens, pearls, rubies, sapphires and diamonds ... the fortune of the kings of France. When Isidore Beautrelet discovers the Aiguille castle in the Creuse department, he thinks he has found the solution to the riddle ("l'Aiguille Creuse" in French means "The Hollow Needle", and also the French title of the novel). However, he did not realize that the castle was built by Louis XIV, the King of France, to keep people away from the traces of a needle in Normandy, near the city of Le Havre, where Arsène Lupine, also known as Louis Valméras, he hid.
