The Hollow Needle

The famous gentleman-burglar and master of disguise Arsène Lupin finds himself playing an intense game of cat and mouse with the young, surprisingly adept amateur-detective Isidore Beautrelet while old foes Ganimard and Herlock Sholmès (aka Holmlock Shears -- renamed to avoid copyright issues) also make appearances. Lupin is chasing the invaluable ' Hollow Needle', which hides vast treasure and a secret that the kings of France have been handing down since the time of Julius Caesar.
