Champagne Blues

The story begins with Claude, the most formidable concierge of the most formidable hotel in all Paris. Claude is preparing for a crisis. As he waits, we note the Baccarat crystal, the Meisonnier silver tray, the Lalique ashtray. The crisis? The threatened invasion of the tourists. Faced with a couple who write budget travel guides and a couple who write luxury travel for the rich and richer, he has no choice but to kidnap them as he tries to eliminate all of the tourists who have tried to take HIS Paris away from him. What better place to hold them captive than the dark, winding tunnels of the caves of Champagne? The plot bubbles along with the effervescence of vintage wine.
