L’Île aux trente cercueils

Par Maurice Leblanc

Une atmosphère sombre des légendes celtes, le présage sanglant, le comte Vorski sans-cœur, voilà de quoi frissonner d’angoisse et de terreur. Les gens superstitieux appellent ce lieu «L’île aux trente cercueils». La raison est simple: il y a une terrible prophétie, que dit trente victimes doivent mourir dont quatre femmes en croix. Quelle est la destinee de la jeune femme de bonne famille Véronique, qui est impliqué dans cette histoire? Quel est le fin de l’amour impossible entre un fou psychopathe et cette belle ingénue? Est-ce que Arsène Lupin peut affronter la malédiction?
