‘Wees gewaarschuwd, goede lezer, bij de eerste ontmoeting raak je gecharmeerd, de volgende keer ben je verkocht en nadien wil je Lupin volgen waar hij je ook naartoe voert.’ Uit het voorwoord van Bart Van Loo.

Lupin was het Franse antwoord op Sherlock Holmes en onmiddellijk een groot succes. Een nieuwe held was geboren. Maar liefst 21 boeken volgden.

De verhalen zijn afzonderlijke pareltjes, die de auteur tot een heerlijk leessnoer heeft weten te rijgen. Pareltjes die ruim honderd jaar na dato nog steeds een genot zijn om te lezen. Voor zijn verdiensten voor de Franse literatuur werd Maurice Leblanc onderscheiden met de prestigieuze Légion d’honneur.
