Summary | "The Blonde Lady" by Maurice Leblanc is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the cunning thief Arsène Lupin as he battles against English detective Holmlock Shears, weaving a tale filled with mystery, stolen treasures, and the pursuit of a valuable lottery ticket. The main plot begins with the theft of M. Gerbois' writing desk, which contains a winning lottery ticket worth a million francs, leading to a duel of wits between Lupin and Shears. The opening of this engaging narrative introduces M. Gerbois, a professor who purchases a writing desk for his daughter's birthday only to have it stolen shortly afterward. As he discovers that the desk contained the ticket for a million francs, he resolves to reclaim his fortune, while Lupin, the thief, openly declares his claim to the winning ticket. This sets off a series of events including Gerbois’ frantic attempts to prove his ownership and the kidnapping of his daughter, Suzanne. The opening establishes a thrilling tension between the characters and hints at a gripping contest of intelligence and morality as both men seek to outmaneuver each other in a high-stakes game.
