'Blonde Lady, being a record of the duel of wits between Arsène Lupin and the English detective' Summary
The Blonde Lady contains two stories. In "The Blonde Lady" itself, Lupin attempts to steal a valuable jewel from a woman he believes to be a simple, naive blonde. However, his assumptions are challenged as he discovers the woman is not what she seems, leading to a game of cat and mouse. The second story, "The Hollow Needle" involves Lupin's attempt to steal a valuable diamond necklace.
