📱 eBook en inglés EIGHT STROKES OF THE CLOCK

"Eight mysteries. One clock. An adventure that counts down to the truth."
Arsène Lupin has taken many names, but as Prince Serge Rénine, he faces one of his most elegant challenges. To win the heart of Hortense Daniel, Rénine proposes a pact: they will spend three months together solving eight intricate mysteries that have baffled the French authorities. From a clock that strikes eight when it should strike seven to hidden treasures and unsolvable murders, each "stroke" represents a new puzzle that only a mastermind like Lupin can unravel. This collection showcases Lupin not just as a thief, but as a brilliant detective who uses his knowledge of the criminal mind to serve justice.
A Game of Wit and Romance: The tension in these stories isnt just in the crimes, but in the dynamic between Rénine and Hortense. While Rénine treats the mysteries as a grand game to prove his devotion, Hortense remains wary of his true identity. Their chemistry adds a sophisticated layer of romantic suspense to the classic "whodunit" format.
Classic French Detective Logic: Leblanc masterfully utilizes the "fair play" mystery style, giving the reader the clues needed to solve the puzzles alongside the protagonist. Whether investigating the "Lady with the Axe" or the "Tell-Tale Footsteps," the solutions are always surprising yet rooted in Lupins uncanny observation skills.
Why It Is a Must-Read: The Eight Strokes of the Clock is perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie who crave a bit more Gallic flair and adventure. Its a fast-paced, witty, and atmospheric journey through the mysterious corners of post-WWI France.
