The Hotel Majestic (Penguin Modern Classics) - Softcover
In the luxury Hotel Majestic, the French wife of a wealthy American businessman is murdered. The corpse is discovered in a locker in the hotel's dank basement, an area normally reserved for the hotel's put-upon staff. A story about the illusions of class, the fragility of respectability, and the dark secrets and dangerous weaknesses that can unite the most unlikely people.
'A truly wonderful writer ... marvellously readable - lucid, simple, absolutely in tune with that world he creates of run-down hotels, cold, dark barges, quayside canal-taverns, lurking prostitutes, pot-bellied burghers, taciturn youths, slippery barmen' Muriel Spark, Sunday Times
