The Teeth of The Tiger - Arsène...

Maurice Leblanc

'One day, I should like my epitaph to read, "Here lies Arsène Lupin, adventurer".'

The famed hero-thief masterfully created by Maurice Leblanc, Arsène Lupin, is back for another remarkable tale – one which revolves around crime, inheritance and a murky international conspiracy – and it's more suspenseful and shocking than ever.

When Cosmo Mornington, a wealthy American, is pronounced dead, a large inheritance is up for grabs. He leaves his fortune to any living heir, leaving his good friend Don Luis Perenna in charge of finding them. But when Mornington's relatives start to mysteriously vanish or die, suspicion begins to fall on Don Luis. Lupin, disguised as Mornington's close acquaintance, sets out to unveil the truth behind the disappearances, and is led to a series of sinister crimes linked to a secret organisation called, 'The Teeth of the Tiger'. Action packed and intricately constructed, The Teeth of the Tiger cements Lupin as a true master of disguise, and Maurice Leblanc as a masterful writer of mystery. This audiobook edition is skilfully read by Rupert Degas.
Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) was a French journalist, novelist and short story writer. He was primarily known for inventing the fictional thief Arsène Lupin, often considered the French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes.
