The case: The 25th Hour
On the night of its eightieth anniversary, Hotel Le Belvédère throws a gala dinner. By morning its owner is found dead in the cellar, a door that opens only with a badge. The police clear everyone but five people. Only one of them killed. The case, the places and the characters are invented.
