The scene is the St. Gregory Hotel, New Orleans. Through Arthur Hailey's totally fascinating novel, move vividly drawn characters - the tycoons of the hotel industry, the guests, the staff, men and women, young and old, the dedicated and the amoral.

There is a robbery and blackmail, a near-disastrous orgy and a take-over battle, but there is courage too and a love-story which will remain etched on the reader's mind.
