Sinopsis

In "The Adventures of Arsène Lupin," Maurice Leblanc introduces readers to the charming gentleman-thief who captures the imagination through a series of intricately crafted tales. Written in the early 20th century, Leblanc's narrative weaves elements of mystery and adventure with a touch of humor, marking a significant contribution to the detective genre. The stories are characterized by witty dialogue and clever plot twists, particularly notable in his innovative juxtaposition of Lupin's escapades with the persistent detective, Inspector Vérin. This dynamic not only highlights the cunning of Lupin but also explores themes of morality and societal class in a rapidly changing France. Maurice Leblanc, a prolific French writer, was greatly influenced by the literary landscape of his time, including the popularity of detective fiction and the fascination with anti-heroes. His background in journalism and literature imbued him with the skills to create engaging narratives that reflected the complexities of human nature. Leblanc's Lupin emerged as a Robin Hood-like figure, resonating with readers craving escapism and adventure, while also critiquing social norms. "The Adventures of Arsène Lupin" is a must-read for lovers of classic literature and detective stories alike. With its blend of humor, clever plotting, and a charismatic protagonist, Leblanc's work ensures that readers embark on a thrilling journey full of twists and turns. Delve into the world of Lupin, where crime is elevated to an art form, and see why this character has endured through the ages.

    Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil – or pay the consequences. 
    Twenty years ago, Stasia King’s 14-year-old sister was abducted, raped and viciously murdered. Now, on the anniversary of her disappearance, another young girl has gone missing, from the same exclusive country club. The cases can’t possibly be connected since the murderer has been dead nearly twenty years – or can they? Is it coincidence or something more sinister? 
    Nick Winston is in town to investigate the girl’s disappearance, but he’s drawn to a second case that’s grabbing global attention: Someone calling themselves The Surgeon is attacking pillars of the community men in very specific ways. The Surgeon isn’t hiding in the shadows; they record the attacks and post them on social media, with an invitation to watch as the assaults become more violent, and more final. They’re sending a message, and demanding justice with a cryptic tagline: #stopsabine. 
    Is The Surgeon a vigilante, or a brutal killer?

    "The Adventure of the Three Students", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
    Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves in a university town when a tutor and lecturer of St Luke's College, Mr. Hilton Soames, brings him an interesting problem. Soames had been reviewing the galley proofs of an exam he was going to give when he left his office for an hour. When he returned, he found that his servant, Bannister, had entered the room but accidentally left his key in the lock when he left, and someone had disturbed the exam papers on his desk and left traces that show it had been partially copied. Bannister is devastated and collapses on a chair, but swears that he did not touch the papers. Soames found other clues in his office: pencil shavings, a broken pencil lead, a fresh cut in his desk surface, and a small blob of black clay speckled with sawdust.
