> Arsène Lupin Versus Herlock Sholmes by Maurice Leblanc

## Answer

Arsène Lupin Versus Herlock Sholmes by Maurice Leblanc develops Crime and Justice across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

The narrative explores the tension between law enforcement and criminality, with Lupin portrayed as a charming, almost heroic outlaw who outwits the police, while Sholmes represents the pursuit of justice through logic and deduction.

The murder of Baron d'Hautrec and the investigation by Ganimard highlight the pursuit of justice amid mysterious circumstances.

Lupin's arrest by Ganimard represents the law's attempt to capture the master criminal.

Sholmes systematically builds a case against Alice Demun, while Lupin's escape challenges the pursuit of justice.
