The Last Love of Arsène Lupin

This work, begun under the title "The Last Adventure of Arsène Lupin", was found by chance in 2011 "on top of a cupboard in a beige shirt with rusty hooks" by Florence Boespflug-Leblanc.

In a prologue we learn that Lupin's great-grandfather was one of Napoleon's generals, for whom he will successfully complete a singular mission: to bring the English version of the journal that contains the family Montcalmet revelations of Joan of Arc on the "high directives of English politics," absent from the French version.

The faithful Captain Andrew Savery is presented to her by Count Hairfall, and he loves her from afar.

The police and Fourvier rush to the "zone" to investigate, but Lupin finds the bags before anyone else.

This company is dedicated to him and he is familiarly called Captain Kakariko, alluding to his rallying cry.
