Arsene Lupin in The Crystal Stopper

"The Crystal Stopper" is a ripping tale, with non-stop intrigue, action, twists and turns, and a healthy dose of Lupin humor.The story concerns the mysterious pursuit, appearances and disappearances -- and reappearances -- of a crystal decanter stopper. Why are so many people hot to get their hands on this seemingly worthless object? How is it being found and then lost again so readily? To say anything more about the plot is to risk revealing something, which would be to spoil some of the great fun in being carried along, with the irrepressible thief / scoundrel / hero Arsene Lupin, on this roller-coaster ride of a tale.There's plenty of danger, narrow scrapes, cryptic clues, harrowing rescues, and clever ruses to keep you on the edge of your seat for many evenings of reading pleasure. If you like Lupin stories (or Raffles or The Saint), I can't imagine you won't love "The Crystal Stopper".
