What to expect
'Justice is a matter of perspective.'
Based on the infamous Panama scandals of 1893, one of the most notorious events of corruption in France's history,
The Crystal Stopper is a thrilling mystery featuring Maurice Leblanc's iconic gentleman thief, Arsène Lupin.
Arsène, our charming and clever protagonist who sits on the wrong side of the law, becomes inadvertently involved in a damning murder case when his two colleagues are arrested on suspicion of killing Deputy Daubrecq, a corrupt politician, during a burglary. In an attempt to clear their names and get to the truth of what happened, Lupin seeks a crystal stopper which was once in Daubrecq's possession and holds enough political secrets to bring absolute anarchy. What ensues is a thrilling race against time full of unexpected twists and unnerving deception, as Lupin tries to get to the stopper before it's too late. This audiobook edition is skilfully brought to life by Rupert Degas.
Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) was a French journalist, novelist and short story writer. He was primarily known for inventing the fictional thief Arsène Lupin, often considered the French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes.
