General Fiction

From Airport to Hotel and from In High Places to The Final Diagnosis, Arthur Hailey's incisive thrillers, set at the heart of the great institutions of the modern world, are unmatched for authenticity, power and human drama. In Hotel, he takes us behind the scenes of a major New Orleans hotel, the St Gregory, to introduce a host of vividly-drawn characters - the tycoons who run the industry, the staff and guests, both men and women, both young and old, both totally dedicated and utterly immoral. From robbery and blackmail to a near-disastrous orgy; from the high drama of a ruthless take-over bid, to the searing passion of an unforgettable love affair, Arthur Hailey guides us through the bedroom suites and the backroom offices, to show us hotel life as it's never been seen before... Hotel, which became the basis for a major film and TV series, is without doubt one of Arthur Hailey's greatest bestsellers.
