  'Life itself, in fact, with its storms and its greatnesses, its monotony and its variety, becomes a sort of tragic epitome; and that, perhaps, is why we enjoy with a fevered haste and an intensified delight this short voyage of which we see the end at the very moment when we embark upon.'
  
  The first collection of stories featuring a sly, intelligent and charismatic thief turned detective, Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burglar is a thrilling adventure in crime told from the perspective of a gentleman on the wrong side of the law.

But as someone who is an enemy to the establishment, and plays only by his own rules, Arsène soon proves himself to be as dangerous behind bars as he was outside of them… As gripping as it is fast paced, this audiobook edition is compelling narrated by Rupert Degas.
