The Night Manager
by John le Carré
The titular Night Manager is Jonathan Pine, an ex-soldier working at a hotel first in Egypt, then Switzerland. His first encounter with Richard Roper, a rich, British arms dealer ends in disaster, and he vows revenge. He offers his services to the government, but corrupt, competing intelligence services more interested in the right school tie and internal battles than catching the crooks in case they implicate someone who wears the same tie means Pine ends up battling on all fronts.
As ever, le Carre weaves a complex tale. Having seen the TV series, I could not get Hugh Lawrie put of my head whenever I pictured Roper, but that’s not a problem. It is quite long, and sometimes the depth of the political infighting might be a tad too much, but it is still a cracking read.
