Publisher's Synopsis
Captain Patrice Belval falls in love with Little Mother Coralie, a nurse who attended to his war injuries, completely unaware of the past and the future involving them. His success at foiling an attempt to kidnap her only begins the dangerous events that follow and the unraveling of past secrets. But each new discovery they make brings them closer to an enemy's plot to recreate a horrifying death scene 20 years after the original. To add to it, millions of francs' worth of gold that were supposed to be transported outside the country remain as a mysterious treasure trove hidden where nobody would find it - nobody except Arsène Lupin, who arrives just in time to bring justice and reveal the mystery. As our tale opens, Arsene Lupin is but a memory. We see his picturesque grave, and perhaps we take a moment to mourn his passing.
