The Teeth of the Tiger Hardcover - 2021

From the publisher

The Teeth of the Tiger (1921) is a novel by Maurice Leblanc. Blending crime fiction, fantasy, and mystery, Leblanc crafts original and entertaining tales of adventure starring one of the greatest literary characters of all time--Arsne Lupin, gentleman thief. Partly based on the life of French anarchist Marius Jacob, Lupin first appeared in print in 1905 as an answer to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.

Arsne Lupin is the world's greatest thief, an unmatched force for good whose exploits threaten the wealth and standing of France's most wicked men. In this installment of Leblanc's beloved series, Lupin uses his remarkable wit and chameleon-like ability to move undetected through aristocratic society in order to steal, trick, and cheat his way through life. Despite his criminal nature, he operates under a strict moral code, only taking from those who have taken from the poor all their lives. Don Luis Perenna is a man with a mysterious past. Known only to his closest comrades by his real name, Perenna is none other than Arsne Lupin, the gentleman thief. Named executor of the will of Cosmo Mornington, a wealthy philanthropist and a friend since the days of the Great War, Perenna is tasked with tracking down his many heirs. One by one, they begin to turn up dead, forcing the thief to join forces with the police in order to clear his name. The Teeth of the Tiger is a tale of romance, mystery, and crime that continues to astound over a century after it was published.
