Summary "Arsène Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes" by Maurice Leblanc is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story pits the charming French gentleman thief Arsène Lupin against the brilliant English detective Herlock Sholmes. The book explores themes of intrigue, deception, and the clever battles between the cunning criminal and the law enforcer." The opening of the book introduces readers to a seemingly innocuous situation involving Mon. Gerbois, a professor who unwittingly becomes embroiled in a case of theft when his newly purchased writing desk is stolen. This mysterious theft leads him to discover that it contained a winning lottery ticket worth a fortune. At the same time, the notorious Arsène Lupin comes into play, claiming possession of the stolen ticket, which complicates matters further. The tension escalates with Lupin's audacious deal for the million, as Mon. Gerbois becomes desperate to retrieve his daughter, Suzanne, who has gone missing. The intertwining fates of the characters set the stage for an exhilarating clash between the charming rogue and the unyielding detective, promising readers a thrilling tale of cat and mouse.
