What would happen if the adventures of Arsène Lupin, the man with a thousand faces, concealed a code, a hidden meaning, the key to a well-hidden treasure somewhere in Normandy? The famous professor Roland Bergton is sure of this. He has just one day to solve the puzzle, with only clues from a gold coin, an unfinished short story by Maurice Leblanc, and the help of Paloma, a charming History student.
The Arsène Lupin Code is the first novel by the French master of suspense Michel Bussi. Different from his later novels, playful and educational above all, the Arsène Lupin Code is simultaneously a biographical novel of the author Maurice Leblanc, a treasure hunt in the footsteps of Arsène Lupin, and a literary pastiche based on well-known mystery novels.
