When the heirs to Cosmo Mornington’s enormous fortune are nowhere to be found, Don Luis Perenna, a friend of the deceased and executor of his will, sets out to track them down. If he fails to do so, he will himself inherit a quarter of his friend’s fortune. It is not long before one of the heirs turns up dead and the search for the missing beneficiaries quickly becomes a murder investigation.

In the meantime, gentleman-burglar Arsène Lupin is believed to be dead, but is all as it seems? An inquiry full of twists and turns awaits Don Luis in The Teeth of the Tiger, the latest thrilling instalment in David Timson’s survey of Arsène Lupin stories.
