The dark side of glamorous expat life in Paris is brought to life in this new translation, book twenty-one in the new Penguin Maigret series.
'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.
