Audiobook Herlock Sholmes Arrives Too Late, the Adventures of Arsene Lupin written by Maurice Leblanc. The Extraordinary adventures of Arsene Lupin include one of the earliest forms of crossover, with the parodic "Sherlock Holmes arrives too late". This short story is a delightful confrontation between two legendary characters: Arsene Lupin, the most famous thief in the world of literature, daring, bold and elegant, and Sherlock Holmes, the clever detective from Baker Street.
