Maurice Leblanc
22) The Frontier
If you think Maurice Leblanc's literary output begins and ends with his series of mysteries featuring criminal mastermind Arsene Lupin, check out this tense thriller set in the years leading up to World War I. Probing questions of patriotism and nationalism, it's a treat for lovers of well-wrought historical fiction.
23) The Three Eyes
In The Three Eyes, author Maurice Leblanc veers away from the Sherlock Holmes-style mysteries that were long his stock-in-trade and mixes things up by introducing some science fiction elements. A series of mysterious images are projected onto a wall, and onlookers are unable to discern their source. Where are they coming from, and what does it mean?
Though the novel The Tremendous Event doesn't include Maurice Leblanc's most famous creation, the criminal mastermind Arsene Lupin, it is an action-adventure thrill ride that skillfully combines elements of mystery and science fiction, and will keep readers engaged and enchanted until the very last page.
