The Golden Triangle: The Return of Arsène Lupin is the latest instalment in master storyteller David Timson’s survey of the Arsène Lupin novels. War-wounded Captain Patrice Belval and his Senegalese sidekick, Ya-Bon, rescue the nurse Coralie from an attempt on her life. This draws them into a complex mystery involving a missing fortune, a treasure of gold and a curious Moroccan by the name of Esarres Bey. Only a man with the wits and skill of Arsène Lupin can penetrate the labyrinthine problem, but will he heed the call for help and uncover the truth?
Set in Paris at the beginning of World War One, The Golden Triangle explores themes of personal sacrifice, loyalty and deception as the multi-layered narrative involves characteristic twists and surprises.
