Arsene Lupin, the brilliant detective created by French writer Maurice Leblanc, was often described by critics and fans as "e;the French Sherlock Holmes."e; This cheeky volume of detective stories pokes fun at that comparison by pitting Lupin's wits against the formidable talents of one "e;Herlock Sholmes,"e; a master investigator who bears a striking resemblance to a certain character created by Arthur Conan Doyle.
