Monsieur Rene
Peter Ustinov Audio Book

As a retired and widowed hotelier, Monsieur René’s life seems entirely in order. But, despite a sharp and active mind, he is suffering from late life depression and finds he must find a new diversion. Bringing together a group of like-minded hoteliers to monitor suspicious-acting guests, René is invigorated, and in his role as the Permanent President of the International Brotherhood of Concierges and Hall Porters, he occupies a position of particular prominence. Charged with the thrill of monitoring key players at the Swiss epicentre of world diplomacy, Monsieur René becomes involved in a master plan to mount an espionage operation to put half the world’s police force to shame.
