In an attempt to clear their names and get to the truth of what happened, Lupin seeks a crystal stopper which was once in Daubrecq's possession and holds enough political secrets to bring absolute anarchy. What ensues is a thrilling race against time full of unexpected twists and unnerving deception, as Lupin tries to get to the stopper before it's too late. This audiobook edition is skilfully brought to life by Rupert Degas.
