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-Élysées, 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.
