Arsène Lupin

Maurice Leblanc

Summary

"He is the man of a thousand faces, the thief who steals hearts and diamonds with equal ease."

Step into the glamorous world of the Belle Époque, where Arsène Lupin reigns supreme as the most elusive criminal in France. Unlike the dark detectives of his time, Lupin is a hero of wit and elegance. Whether he is stealing a priceless coronet from a locked vault or solving a mystery that has baffled the authorities for years, he does so with a flair for the dramatic. From his debut in Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burglar to his legendary rivalry with "Herlock Sholmes," Lupin's adventures are a whirlwind of secret passages, clever ruses, and high-stakes games of cat-and-mouse.

The Master of the Impossible: Lupin doesn't just steal; he orchestrates. His heists are elaborate puzzles where he often announces his arrival in advance, daring his victims to stop him. He is a master of the "locked-room" mystery, turning every crime scene into a stage for his genius.

A Rogue with a Heart of Gold: While he lives outside the law, Lupin is a champion of the underdog. He often uses his stolen wealth to help the vulnerable or to expose the corruption of the elite. This duality—part criminal, part knight-errant—is what has made him an enduring icon for over a century.

The Inspiration for a Global Phenomenon: From the classic novels to the hit Netflix series, the spirit of Arsène Lupin continues to captivate. These stories are the blueprint for the modern "heist" genre, blending suspense, humor, and a touch of French sophistication.

Decoy: The gripping true crime...

Robert Murphy

Winner of 'Best Book' and 'Impact for Change' True Crime Awards 2025 
The shocking true story of one of Britain’s most secretive, groundbreaking and successful police covert operations 
Bristol, 1979. 
An attacker roams the streets… 
Young women are warned not to go out alone… 
Enter the Decoys. 
For several years, a prolific predator haunted Bristol. Avon and Somerset Police had tried all their usual tactics to catch the ‘Clifton Rapist’, and public pressure was mounting. 
In 1979, a daring new plan was introduced, unlike anything previously attempted by a UK police force. A small group of young female officers – some aged just 18 – put their lives on the line, walking the quiet residential roads late at night, acting as bait. 
Drawing on in-depth research and first-hand interviews with the women at the heart of the operation, Decoy is a dramatic retelling of one of the most groundbreaking agent provocateur stings in British history. 
Decoy by Robert Murphy is a gripping non-fiction autobiography that explores the daring tactics employed by law enforcement in 1979. The book delves into the experiences of the women who served as decoys, their encounters with harassment and assault, and the social implications of their actions. 
For fans of Jeremy Craddock (The Jigsaw Murders), David Wilson (Murder at Home), Ryan Green (Outback Outlaw), Gregg Olsen (The Amish Wife), and Her Honour Wendy Joseph Qc (Unlawful Killings).

Berserk - The Shocking Life and...

Don Stradley

Within the dark pages of Berserk: The Shocking Life and Death of Edwin Valero, author Don Stradley uncovers the gritty details of the undefeated (27-0, 27 KO), troubled, boxer Edwin Valero. 
 
 
 
Edwin Valero's life was like a rocket shot into a wall. With a perfect knockout record in twenty-seven fights, the demonic Venezuelan boxer, known as "El Inca" and "El Dinamita," seemed destined for a clash with all-time great Manny Pacquiao. But the Fates had other ideas. 
 
 
 
Fueled by cocaine and booze and paranoia, Valero blazed into a mania that derailed his career in the ring and resulted in the brutal death of his young wife Jennifer–and soon afterward, his own. In chilling detail, Don Stradley captures one of the darkest and most sensational boxing stories in recent memory, which, until now, has never been fully told. 
 
 
 
Filled with firsthand accounts from the men who trained Valero and the reporters who covered him, as well as insights from psychologists and forensic experts, Berserk is a hell-ride of a book.
