## Snapshot

A professor whose winning lottery ticket becomes the bait in a trap, dragging an ordinary man into a war between two extraordinary ones.

## Who they are

Gerbois is the civilian at the edge of the game, a man whose luck — a ticket, a number, a small fortune — makes him suddenly interesting to people far more dangerous than himself. His ordinary life is the stake Lupin and Sholmes quietly wager over. He matters because the plot's first mystery is not a jewel or a murder but what happens to a nobody who wins.
