Knowing Lupin’s track record, I’m surprised he didn’t try to help his friends escape from prison, instead he spent the whole story trying to figure out how to free them from the death sentence...

Provavelmente a melhor aventura de Lupin!

Perante a eminente execução do seu associado e amigo, Gilbert, Lupin vê-se forçado a combater o seu inimigo mais notável, o deputado Daubrecq.

Pela primeira vez, vemos Lupin (quase) derrotado. Conseguirá ele encontrar a rolha de cristal e salvar o seu amigo? Descubra neste livro

«Siamo circondati... siamo perduti...», balbettò Gilbert.

«Taci!», rispose Lupin.

«Ma ci hanno visti, capo! Eccoli che buttano giù la porta!»

«Taci», ripeté Lupin. «Non una parola, non un gesto!»

Era impassibile, il volto assolutamente calmo, l'atteggiamento pensieroso di qualcuno che ha tutto il tempo necessario per esaminare una situazione delicata da ogni punto di vista. Si trovava in uno di quei momenti che chiamava gli «attimi superiori della vita», gli unici che danno all'esistenza tutto il suo valore. In quei frangenti, qualunque fosse il pericolo, cominciava a contare mentalmente e con lentezza: “Uno... due... tre... quattro... cinque... sei...”, fino a che i battiti del cuore tornavano normali.
