During a burglary at the home of Deputy Daubrecq a crime is committed, and two accomplices of Arsène Lupin are arrested by the police. One is guilty of the crime, the other innocent, but both will be sentenced to death. Lupin seeks to deliver the victim of a miscarriage of justice, but struggles against Deputy Daubrecq, the ruthless blackmailer, who has an incriminating document hidden in a crystal stopper.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
Please don't download files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Hiya Betty. Not my usual pace of posting, but I was struggling with finishing the other Lupin project. Now I should be able to focus on this one. Chapter 4 is up.
I've PL'ed section 4 and there's one small glitch:
At 9:04 Stumble near repeat “what is one-Now what is one” in “Now what is one to make of that?"
I know you have several other solos currently, don't fret if you take more time to record sections. I'm patient! (and I think your other PL'ers are too)
