'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. The intricate plot involves a series of false leads, daring disguises, and a clever trap set by Lupin. Herlock Sholmes, on the trail of Lupin throughout both stories, proves to be a formidable opponent, utilizing his keen observation skills and deductive reasoning to decipher Lupin's plans and unveil the truth behind his elaborate schemes. Throughout the novel, the readers are kept on the edge of their seats as they witness the intellectual duel between these two extraordinary figures. The story highlights the contrasting approaches to solving crimes, showcasing both the allure of the criminal mind and the power of logic and deduction.Book Details
