The Blonde Lady sees Arsène Lupin (the gentleman-burglar) once again meeting his enemy, the English detective Herlock Sholmes.

These two great intellects are bound in opposite directions, where one chooses to abide to the law and the other uses his power and wits to crime.

Maurice Leblanc (1864 - 1941) was a French novelist, best known as the creator of gentleman thief (later detective) Arsène Lupin.

Leblanc began as a journalist, until he was asked to write a short story filler, and created, more gallant and dashing than English counterpart Sherlock Holmes.
