Overview
""... le Carré shows his customary mastery in the details--from Jonathan's self-lacerating momentum to the intricacies of interagency turf wars--and reveals once again why nobody writes espionage fiction with his kind of authority."" -- Kirkus Reviews In the shadowy recesses of Whitehall and Washington, an unholy alliance operates between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade. After a series of events in Cairo that culminate in the tragic death of a woman caught in the crosshairs, hotel night manager (and former military intelligence operative) Jonathan Pine is ready to stand up and be counted in the fight against this ultimate heart of darkness. His mission takes him from the cliffs of west Cornwall, via northern Quebec and the Caribbean, to the jungles of post-Noriega Panama. His quarry is ""the worst man in the world"" British arms mogul Richard Onslow Roper. Complicating Pine's attempt to get into Roper's inner circle is the in-fighting between London and Langley--and it might just be Pine's undoing. A masterful spy thriller from New York Times bestselling author John le Carré, The Night Manager is now a BBC/AMC series, starring Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Hugh Laurie (House), and Olivia Colman (The Crown), with 2 Primetime Emmy Awards and 3 Golden Globe Awards and two more seasons still to come from the BBC and Prime Video.

Author Information
John le Carré, the pseudonym of David John Moore Cornwell (1931-2020), was an English author of espionage novels. Eight of his novels made the #1 spot on the New York Times bestsellers list between 1983 and 2017. The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, his third book, secured him a worldwide reputation as one of the greatest spy novelists in history. Numerous major motion pictures have been made from his novels, as well as several television series. After attending the universities at Berne and Oxford, he taught at Eton and spent five years in the British Foreign Service, serving briefly in British Intelligence during the Cold War. Being a member of MI6 when he wrote his first novel, Call for the Dead in 1961 in Hamburg, it necessitated the use of a nom de plume, by which he continued to be known. His writing earned him several honorary doctorate degrees and the Somerset Maugham Award, the Goethe Medal, and the Olof Palme Prize.
