The Affair at the Semiramis Hotel, published in 1917, is the second novella in A. E. W. Mason's Hanaud mystery series. The story follows Inspector Hanaud, a character inspired by Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, as he investigates a robbery and murder that may be a hallucination induced by mescal. Mason aimed to create a detective distinct from Sherlock Holmes, featuring Hanaud as a stout, professional policeman who relies on psychological insights rather than physical evidence. This novella continues the exploration of Hanaud's character, alongside his companion, Mr. Julius Ricardo.
