The inspiration behind the smash hit Netflix original series Lupin!

"The voice died away. He repeated several times, as though in a nightmare: ' The teeth ! the teeth ! They're closing !' "

Disappearing shortly before WWI, Arsène Lupin returns after the war to serve as the executor of his friend's estate. Now known as Don Luis Perenna, the gentleman-thief is tasked with tracking down Mornington's heirs to share a fabulous fortune. There's a caveat: if no one comes forward in 3 months' time, the executor inherits the whole sum. When heirs start turning up dead, can Lupin solve who is behind the murders? Or is he trying to cover his own tracks and keep the entire 200 million francs for himself?

Written shortly before the start of World War I, the English translation of The Teeth of the Tiger was published in 1914—seven years before the original French text was made available in book form.

Kobo Editions offers this fully-accessible version of the original text for your enjoyment.
