Sinopsis

"LUPIN - The Adventures of Gentleman Thief" presents a captivating collection of tales centered around the dashing and cunning anti-hero Ars√®ne Lupin, a gentleman burglar whose exploits challenge the notions of morality and justice. Written in a style that seamlessly blends suspense with humor, Leblanc employs a vivid narrative voice that reflects the Belle √âpoque era'Äôs fascination with both innovation and crime. Each story masterfully weaves complex plots characterized by elaborate heists, clever disguises, and the thrill of outsmarting law enforcement, particularly the detective Sherlock Holmes, showcased in the iconic story 'Ars√®ne Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes.' Leblanc's vibrant characterizations and witty dialogue not only entertain but also critique the socio-economic divides of early 20th-century France. Maurice Leblanc, a French author born in 1864, drew inspiration from the burgeoning urban environment and socio-political dynamics of his time. His background in literature and journalism, coupled with a penchant for mystery and detective stories, positioned him uniquely to create Lupin, who embodies the charm and rebellion against societal norms. Moreover, the influence of serial publication formats during Leblanc'Äôs era can be seen in the episodic nature of the stories, appealing to a burgeoning readership. "LUPIN - The Adventures of Gentleman Thief" is a must-read for enthusiasts of classic detective fiction and those intrigued by the complexities of morality. Its lessons on cunning and charm remain timeless, rendering it not only an exciting read but a reflection on the dualities of crime and justice. This collection invites readers to delight in the escapades of a character who blurs the lines between hero and villain, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

    The action-packed and gripping first chapter in the highly-acclaimed and bestselling Enemy series that will grip fans of Mark Dawson and the Jason Bourne novels. 
    Carl Logan was the perfect agent. A loner. No real friends or family. Trained to deal with any situation with cold efficiency, devoid of emotion. 
    But Logan isn’t the man he used to be, or the asset he once was. Five months ago his life changed forever when he was captured, tortured and left for dead by Youssef Selim, one of the world’s most violent terrorists. 
    When Selim mysteriously reappears in Paris, linked to the kidnapping of America’s Attorney General, Logan smells his chance for revenge. 
    Pursuing his man relentlessly, oblivious to the growing trail of destruction that he leaves in his wake, Logan delves increasingly deep into the web of lies and deceit surrounding the kidnapping. 
    Finally, he comes to learn just what it means to Dance with the Enemy.Readers LOVE Rob Sinclair’s books: 
    'A cracking thriller with a Reacheresque hero you can't help but root for!' – John Ryder 
    ‘Wow, what a book, I loved it!! Rob Sinclair has an innate ability to draw you in and take you on an amazing ride, the character of agent Carl Logan is so authentic and Sinclair portrays him particularly well. All the characters in this story are well developed, the plot is fast paced, intriguing and totally entertaining. I really can't recommend this book highly enough.‘ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘OMG ,OMG, OMG I was bouncing off the walls when I realised Carl Logan is back with a new identity in a brand new series. After being gutted when the Enemy series ended. Just in case you didn't know I am a massive fan... lol. But Rob Sinclair has pulled out all the punches with this latest story, it is without a doubt his best book yet….. I freaking loved it.’ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘I would think Rob Sinclair might rival some of the greats in his field. His writing is tight, current and gripping. He weaves easily between settings and great characters –there appear to be quite a few. And the pace is compelling. This all leads on to a most excellent ending.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘Crikey The Red Cobra opens with an action packed scene and it pretty well doesn’t let up for the rest of the novel. Short chapters with cliffhanger endings add a breathless pace so that The Red Cobra is a really exciting read. I genuinely found it heart-thumpingly exciting and the events even pervaded my dreams at night! There’s quite a bit of violence but Rob Sinclair also knows less is more so he is a master of suggestion as well as description making for an elevated pulse rate in his readers. The Red Cobra is exciting, well written and absorbing – definitely a ‘can’t put it down thriller’. I loved it.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘The Red Cobra is one fast paced, action packed, thrill of a read. It is actually screaming out to be put on the big screen. Who needs Lara Croft when you have The Red Cobra? Without a doubt this is a fantastic start to a new series and I am literally counting the days down until the author quenches my thirst for more.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    'This book is perfect for the fans of Robert Ludlum, Jim Grant and early James Patterson works.' – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘Brilliantly crafted high-octane thriller with echoes of Robert Ludlum’s infamous Bourne novels!’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 
    ‘I can highly recommend this brilliant book by the master of action, Rob Sinclair.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
