Maurice Leblanc, creatore del fortunato personaggio di Arsenio Lupin, ha scritto nel 1916-17 questo romanzo a puntate, che fu pubblicato in Italia in due volumi: "Il cerchio rosso" e "Le avventure di Fiorenza". Il romanzo non vede la partecipazione di Lupin. Quello che non manca sono le avventure e la fantasia dello scrittore, che elegge come eroina una donna coraggiosa e generosa che assume il ruolo di "giustiziera" intervenendo, con mezzi non ortodossi, in situazioni in cui la legge ha le mani legate.

Nove episodi in cui Lupin racconta casi misteriosi da lui risolti, e regalati alla sua vecchia conoscenza Ganimard, e casi in cui si rivela ancora una volta il suo spirito di canaglia ribelle ma di cuore.

Quella simpatica canaglia di Arsenio Lupin è qui messo veramente alla prova. Stavolta non sono in palio ricchezze o tesori straordinari, ma solo la possibilità di rendere giustizia ad un innocente e a restituire ad una madre suo figlio. Quando poi questa madre è onesta e affascinante, si capirà Lupin sarà messo alla prova in più di un senso... Immancabili colpi di scena e un avversario veramente formidabile accompagneranno l'ascoltatore fino all'ultimo capitolo, senza un minuto di sosta.
