This early work by Maurice Leblanc was originally published in 1919 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. In “The Secret of Sarek,” the action takes place almost entirely on the fictional Island of Sarek in 1917, in which Leblanc deftly blends crime fantasy and science fiction. Maurice Marie Émile Leblanc was born on 11th November 1864 in Rouen, Normandy, France. He was a novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective, Arsène Lupin. From the start, Leblanc wrote both short crime stories and longer novels – and his lengthier tomes, heavily influenced by writers such as Flaubert and Maupassant, were critically admired, but met with little commercial success. Leblanc was largely considered little more than a writer of short stories for various French periodicals when the first Arsène Lupin story appeared. It was published as a series of stories in the magazine 'Je Sais Trout', starting on 15th July, 1905. Clearly created at editorial request under the influence of, and in reaction to, the wildly successful Sherlock Holmes stories, the roguish and glamorous Lupin was a surprise success and Leblanc's fame and fortune beckoned. In total, Leblanc went on to write twenty-one Lupin novels or collections of short stories. On this success, he later moved to a beautiful country-side retreat in Étreat (in the Haute-Normandie region in north-western France), which today is a museum dedicated to the Arsène Lupin books. He died in Perpignan (the capital of the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France) on 6th November 1941, at the age of seventy-six.

The story is about a women, Veronique, who discovers that her long dead son is actually still alive. Unfortunately, she arrives to see him just as he goes on a murderous rampage. From there it basically becomes a horror story with Veronique trapped on an island as the few remaining survivors are picked off and hung on crosses.Maurice Leblanc has done a lot of experimentation with Arsene Lupin. Sometimes Lupin is the enigmatic foil working from the shadows. Sometimes the story is told from Lupin’s point of view. One of my favorite books was a series of short stories. He’s been a thief, he’s been a hero and for this and the previous book he’s been nearly absent. Now, in this story and the previous, The Golden Triangle, Lupin becomes a rescuer who sweeps in to save the day. He didn’t show up until halfway through The Golden Triangle and used an alias which led me to speculate that the story was originally not intended to be a Lupin story. The first mention of Lupin in this book is around 40% into the story who is still going by the name of Don Luis Perrena from The Golden Triangle. There is a callback to Captain Patrice Belval who was the actual main character of The Golden Triangle.

The book, like all of Maurice Leblanc's books, is well written and exciting, though for me a touch too long. That is why I gave it a 4 instead of five. The stories are generally the equal of Conan Doyle's Sherlock canon.
