"The Hollow Needle; Further Adventures of Arsène Lupin" by Maurice Leblanc is a detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the clever gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin, as well as a young amateur detective named Isidore Beautrelet, who becomes embroiled in a complex case involving a robbery, a murder, and a series of clever deceptions. The opening of the novel introduces a tense scene at the Château d'Ambrumésy, where two young women, Raymonde and Suzanne, are awakened by strange noises in the night. Their fears are confirmed when they encounter a mysterious man carrying something and witness a violent struggle that results in a murder. As the plot unfolds, the local gendarmes investigate the crime but find themselves led astray, while Beautrelet eagerly follows his own deductions, keen to solve the case before the famed Arsène Lupin can escape detection. The initial chapters hint at a web of intrigue involving stolen art, treachery, and a chase against time, all set against the backdrop of the hunt for one of literature's most celebrated thieves.
