| Summary |
"Arsène Lupin, Super-Sleuth" by Maurice Leblanc is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book features the famous gentleman thief and master of disguise, Arsène Lupin, as he navigates a series of thrilling adventures, with a blend of mystery and intrigue in the vibrant backdrop of early modern Paris. Much of the excitement revolves around Lupin's encounter with various characters, particularly the beautiful Constance Bakersfield and the enigmatic woman with green eyes, blending themes of romance, crime, and deception. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Ralph de Limézy, a man who becomes captivated by a blue-eyed English girl while observing an altercation between her and a man he suspects of sinister intentions. As Ralph follows her throughout Paris, he witnesses a series of events unfolding, including a violent incident that raises numerous questions about the relationships between the characters involved. The narrative soon escalates when Ralph finds himself caught up in a complicated web of crime after the tragic murder of the girl and the subsequent attack by masked robbers. As tensions rise, Ralph's intrigue deepens, leading to a dramatic encounter with the beautiful yet dangerous girl with green eyes, shifting the plot toward themes of vengeance and pursuit in a world rife with shadows and secrets.
