Blonde Lady, being a record of the duel of wits between Arsène Lupin and the English detective

by Maurice Leblanc

In "The Blonde Lady," Arsène Lupin, the charming and cunning gentleman thief, once again faces off against his formidable adversary, the English detective Herlock Sholmes. This thrilling novel features two stories that highlight the contrasting approaches of these brilliant minds. Lupin, with his cunning and ingenuity, utilizes his skills for crime, while Sholmes, bound by the law, employs his deductive reasoning to thwart Lupin's schemes. The narrative unfolds as a captivating duel of wits, where the reader is drawn into a world of intricate plots, clever disguises, and suspenseful chases. The stories, originally published in chapters and as separate pieces in the magazine "Je Sais Tout" between 1906 and 1907, were later compiled into a book in 1908, becoming the second installment in the series featuring the captivating Arsène Lupin.
