| Summary |
"Arsène Lupin miljoonaperillisenä" by Maurice Leblanc is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the enigmatic character Arsène Lupin, a gentleman thief, and his involvement with a murder mystery linked to a vast inheritance. The narrative promises intrigue with a mix of crime, deception, and clever investigations that are a hallmark of Leblanc's work. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to a tense atmosphere in the police prefecture, where Inspector Vérot is in a state of distress and urgency related to a past murder and impending threats of more killings set to happen that very night. He appears to be suffering from some unseen danger, ultimately collapsing from a mysterious affliction, as he attempts to convey vital information regarding the case. Simultaneously, the prefect and his colleagues await meetings with various dignitaries, including the elusive Don Luis Perenna, who is set to become central to unraveling the dark plot surrounding an inheritance and the fateful events that lead to murder. As the tension unfolds, readers can sense that not only is Lupin's legendary cunning needed, but also that betrayals and secrets abound within high society, setting the stage for a thrilling narrative.
