An exciting period suspense novel, in which a beautiful and mysterious woman, posing as a widow for the sake of "propriety," apparently quite ignorant of the ways of the world, must confront and overcome the powerful and the criminally-minded by the strength of her own virtue. When originally published, the theme of this book was described as "Stupendous and absorbing -- the irresistable force of purity and innocence against the supposedly impassible barrier of personfied evil."

Selected by Ellery Queen as one of the 125 most important books of detective-crime-mystery short stories! THE EIGHT STROKES OF THE CLOCK "These adventures were told to me in the old days by Ars?ne Lupin, as though they had happened to a friend of his, named Prince R?nine. As for me, considering the way in which they were conducted, the actions, the behaviour and the very character of the hero, I find it very difficult not to identify the two friends as one and the same person. Ars?ne Lupin is gifted with a powerful imagination and is quite capable of attributing to himself adventures which are not his at all and of disowning those which are really his. The reader will judge for himself." -- Maurice LeBlanc
