Part 2 of the Arsène Lupin series
The national burglar of France faces off against the national detective of England in two unforgettable stories. Originally released as Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes because of copyright issues, we have taken the liberty of replacing the counterfeit names originally published with those of the original sleuth himself, Sherlock Holmes (in the place of Herlock Sholmes) and his faithful Dr. Watson (in the place of Wilson). The result is an experience for the ages that you won't want to miss.
Three desperate crimes each proclaim the orchestration of Arsène Lupin (master of disguise, historian, fine-art expert, and gentleman thief). How did he do this, given their sheer impossibility and absolute lack of clues? All three of these burglaries couldn't have logically happened, and the valuable pieces are, indeed, missing. Though Inspector Ganimard, who has already arrested Lupin once, does his very best, he is at a complete loss. Finally, the great Sherlock Holmes himself is brought in to bring the elusive Lupin to justice.
Both are at the very pinnacles of their respective professions, and each gives as well as he gets in this royal battle of wits. Don't miss this extravagant game of plot and counterplot with two of the greatest characters in the mystery genre: Sherlock Holmes and Arsène Lupin.

Part 8 of the Arsène Lupin series
'It is as though, during my delirium, all the mysterious powers of my brain had collaborated to assimilate entirely those hateful memories.'
Although famed for his tales featuring Arsène Lupin, the iconic gentleman thief, Maurice Leblanc also wrote gripping standalone tales of crime, history and adventure, of which The Woman of Mystery is no exception.
Set in 1914, The Woman of Mystery centres around the world of Paul Delroze. On the evening before the Second World War, a painful memory rears its ugly head: his father, a decorated veteran who served in the Franco-Prussian War, being brutally murdered at the hands of an unidentified German woman, as Paul and his father were taking an innocent stroll through the French countryside when he was a child. At his core, Paul always knew the day when the two nations – Germany and France – would fight again, and once he heard the call for battle, he was determined to take revenge once and for all. A profound insight into the realities of war and the poignancy of vengeance, The Woman of Mystery is a lost classic of French writing. This audiobook edition is wonderfully 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.

'They have been guarding the island for centuries and centuries, but like wild beasts that only care for doing harm…'
A heady mixture of gothic horror and adventure, and famed for being the basis of the successful 1979 TV series L'Île aux trente cercueils, The Island of Thirty Coffins is detective fiction at its very finest.
Set in 1917 France, The Island of Thirty Coffins centres around the tragic life of Véronique d'Hergemont. After her father kidnaps her young son as revenge for her choice of husband, and subsequently drowns at sea in their escape, Véronique is left devastated for years. However, since investigating into their disappearance further, she begins receiving clues that her son might still be alive. Led to a mysterious island off the coast of Brittany, shrouded in ominous omens, Véronique comes across a particularly haunting prophecy: 'Four women on the cross, stone of God that gives life or death. Thirty sacrifices for thirty coffins.' A series of gruesome events ensue, wherein Véronique is left fighting for her life against sinister forces, needing to unveil the island's secrets in order to survive. But, of course, there's only one man who can help a mystery of this scale: the iconic gentlemen thief, Arsène Lupin. This audiobook edition is brilliantly brought to life by Rupert Degas.
