In The Night Manager, John le Carre's first post-Cold War novel, an
ex-soldier helps British Intelligence penetrate the secret world of
ruthless arms dealers. 'Le Carre is the equal of any novelist now
writing in English' Guardian 'A marvellously observed relentless
tale' Observer At the start of it all, Jonathan Pine is merely the
night manager at a luxury hotel. But when a single attempt to pass
on information to the British authorities - about an international
businessman at the hotel with suspicious dealings - backfires
terribly, and people close to Pine begin to die, he commits himself
to a battle against powerful forces he cannot begin to imagine. In
a chilling tale of corrupt intelligence agencies, billion-dollar
price tags and the truth of the brutal arms trade, John le Carre
creates a claustrophobic world in which no one can be trusted.
'Complex and intense ... page-turning tension' San Francisco
Chronicle 'When I was under house arrest I was helped by the books
of John le Carre ... they were a journey into the wider world ...
These were the journeys that made me feel that I was not really cut
off from the rest of humankind' Aung San Suu Kyi 'One of those
writers who will be read a century from now' Robert Harris 'He can
communicate emotion, from sweating fear to despairing love, with
terse and compassionate conviction' Sunday Times (on The Spy Who
Came in from the Cold) 'Return of the master . . . Having plumbed
the devious depths of the Cold War, le Carre has done it again for
our nasty new age' The Times (on Our Kind of Traitor)
