Arsène Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes is an exhilarating battle of wits between the master thief (and escape artist) Arsène Lupin and the master consulting detective Herlock Sholmes, who, of course, bears a striking similarity to the incomparable Sherlock Holmes. The second in the series of twenty Arsène Lupin volumes, it was published in 1908 in France and translated and published in the United States and the United Kingdom in 1910. It consists of two stories: “The Blonde Lady” and “The Jewish Lamp”. “The Blonde Lady” involves Lupin’s theft of an antique desk that happens to contain a winning lottery ticket followed by the theft of the Blue Diamond by a blonde lady. The police call for Sholmes’ help, who meets Lupin by surprise upon arrival. The two proceed to outfox one another several times over before Lupin is arrested, only to escape and bid Sholmes farewell at the Gare du Nord as he leaves to return to England. “The Jewish Lamp” opens with an appeal to Herlock for help by the police regarding a missing lamp, along with the same day arrival of a letter from Lupin warning him not to interfere. Lupin’s audacity convinces Sholmes to engage. Lupin arranges for a friendly newspaper to herald Sholmes’ arrival on the front page. Undaunted, he proceeds with his investigation and discover the true reason for Lupin’s appeal.
