This takes us behind the scenes of a major New Orleans hotel, the St Gregory, to introduce a host of vividly-drawn characters - the tycoons who run the industry, the staff and guests, both men and women, both young and old, both totally dedicated and utterly immoral. From robbery and blackmail to a near-disastrous orgy; from the high drama of a ruthless take-over bid, to the searing passion of an unforgettable love affair, Arthur Hailey guides us through the bedroom suites and the backroom offices, to show us hotel life as it's never been seen before...
