"De 1938-1945, l'hôtel Lutetia -- l'unique palace de la rive gauche -- partage le destin de la France. Entre ses murs se succèdent, en effet, exilé, écrivains, et artistes, puis officiers naxis et trafiquants du marché noir, pour laisser place enfin à la cohorte des déportés de retour des camps.... Dans un Paris vaincu, occupé, humilié, aux heures les plus sombres de la collaboration, cet homme, pourtant, est hanté par une question: jusqu'ou peut-on aller sans trahir sa conscience?"--P. 4. of cover. World War II as seen from the Hotel Lutetia, a real hotel which actually housed first refugees, then Nazis, then those returned from deportation. The hotel's detective, with his special knowledge and yet limited viewpoint, tells the story.
