Gentlemantyven Arsène Lupin er for hård en nød at knække for det parisiske politi, der gang på gang trækker det korteste strå. Man må have hjælp – og tilkalder Englands store mesterdetektiv Herlock Sholmes, med den skarpe intelligens.Giganterne mødes, klingerne krydses – hvem går af med sejren? Herlock Sholmes eller Arsène Lupin? Eller bliver det måske dødt løb i dette spændende drama ...?Den franske gentlemantyv og detektiv Arsène Lupin bliver ofte beskrevet som det franske svar på Sherlock Holmes. Den første historie om ham udkom i 1905 i magasinet "Je Sais Tout", og siden har han optrådt som hovedperson i en lang række noveller og romaner. I alt foreligger der seks bøger om den populære detektiv på dansk; "Arsène Lupin – gentlemantyv" (1), "Arsène Lupin kontra Herlock Sholmes" (2), "Arsène Lupin – Den hule nål" (3), "Arsène Lupin – krystalproppen" (4), "Arsène Lupin – i al fortrolighed" (5) og "Arsène Lupin – pigen med de grønne øjne" (6).Maurice Leblanc (1864-1941) var en fransk forfatter, som primært er kendt for sine noveller og romaner om den fiktive gentlemantyv og detektiv Arsène Lupin. Lupin blev skabt på bestilling af magasinet "Je Sais Tout", som modsvar til de meget populære, engelske historier om Sherlock Holmes, og blev en øjeblikkelig succes. Selvom Maurice Leblanc også skrev andre bøger, koncentrerede han sig fra 1907 hovedsageligt om historierne om Arsène Lupin.

Arsène Lupin vs. Herlock Sholmes is a collection of two adventures which feature a match of wits between Lupin and Herlock Sholmes, a transparent reference to Sherlock Holmes, the hero of Conan Doyle's detective stories. This early work by Maurice Leblanc was originally published in English in 1910 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Maurice Marie Émile Leblanc was born on 11th November 1864 in Rouen, Normandy, France. He was a novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective, Arsène Lupin. Leblanc spent his early education at the Lycée Pierre Corneille (in Rouen), and after studying in several countries and dropping out of law school, he settled in Paris and began to write fiction. From the start, Leblanc wrote both short crime stories and longer novels - and his lengthier tomes, heavily influenced by writers such as Flaubert and Maupassant, were critically admired, but met with little commercial success. Leblanc was largely considered little more than a writer of short stories for various French periodicals when the first Arsène Lupin story appeared. It was published as a series of stories in the magazine 'Je Sais Trout', starting on 15th July, 1905. Clearly created at editorial request under the influence of, and in reaction to, the wildly successful Sherlock Holmes stories, the roguish and glamorous Lupin was a surprise success and Leblanc's fame and fortune beckoned. In total, Leblanc went on to write twenty-one Lupin novels or collections of short stories. On this success, he later moved to a beautiful country-side retreat in Étreat (in the Haute-Normandie region in north-western France), which today is a museum dedicated to the Arsène Lupin books. Leblanc was awarded the Légion d'Honneur - the highest decoration in France - for his services to literature. He died in Perpignan (the capital of the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France) on 6th November 1941, at the age of seventy-six. He is buried in the prestigious Montparnasse Cemetery of Paris.
