Écrit par Maurice Leblanc

Raconté par Cocotte

" Allô, le service de la Sûreté ? Monsieur l'inspecteur principal Ganimard est-il ici ?... Pas avant vingt minutes ? Dommage !... Enfin !... Quand il sera là, vous lui direz ceci de la part de Mme Dugrival... Oui, Mme Nicolas Dugrival... Vous lui direz qu'il vienne chez moi. Il ouvrira la porte de mon armoire à glace, et, cette porte ouverte, il constatera que l'armoire cache une issue qui fait communiquer ma chambre avec deux pièces. Dans l'une d'elles, il y a un homme solidement ligoté. C'est le voleur, l'assassin de Dugrival. Vous ne me croyez pas ? Avertissez Monsieur Ganimard. Il me croira, lui. Ah ! J'oubliais le nom de l'individu... Arsène Lupin "

On July 15th, 1905, Leblanc published a story in Je sais tout, a popular French magazine, featuring Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief. The character, inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, brought Leblanc both fame and fortune, featuring in 21 novels and short story collections and defining his career as one of the bestselling authors of the twentieth century.
