The Cellars of the Majestic: Georges Simenon

`Try to imagine a guest, a wealthy woman, staying at the Majestic with her husband, her son, a nurse and a governess . . . In a suite that costs more than a thousand francs a day . . . At six in the morning, she`s strangled, not in her room, but in the basement locker room`

Below stairs at a glamorous hotel on the Champs-Elysees, the workers` lives are worlds away from the luxury enjoyed by the wealthy guests. When their worlds meet, Maigret discovers a tragic story of ambition, blackmail and unrequited love.

This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret and the Hotel Majestic.
