The Black Pearl

ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE

About the story.

A celebrated jewel gives its owner a possession worth guarding and gives a resourceful thief something worth thinking about. But valuable objects gather stories around themselves, and those stories do not always make their circumstances clearer.

Leblanc places Arsène Lupin in an affair where the lure of a prize is only the beginning. The interest lies in how a seemingly familiar theft can acquire complications of its own.
