The Golden Triangle: The Return of Arsène Lupin begins with the attempted kidnap of a lovely nurse known as Little Mother Coralie who is rescued by Captain Patrice Belval and his heroic Senegalese cohort Ya-Bon. As the labyrinthine plot unfolds and all hope of remedy seems lost, the ineffable, charming gentleman-burglar Arsène Lupin returns from the dead to solve an unsolved mystery from the past that bears upon a fated love, a treasure of gold, and the destinies of an extraordinary cast of characters. Lupin has been depicted in countless film and stage adaptions, most recently as the inspiration of the Netflix series, Lupin, starring Omar Sy. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed biographical timeline of Leblanc’s life and work.
