Glamorous expat life in Paris is brought to life in this new translation, part of the 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... In all likelihood, that's where the crime was committed... What was the woman doing in the basement?... Who could have lured her down there, and how?... Especially at an hour when people of that kind are usually still fast asleep...

The Cellars of the Majestic unfolds a gripping tale set in the heart of Paris, inviting readers to unravel the mystery behind the crime amidst the glamour and shadowy corridors of the Majestic.
