WATCH THE NEW SERIES OF THE NIGHT MANAGER ON IPLAYER
To catch a criminal, he must become one
Jonathan Pine, night manager of a luxury Swiss hotel, has a secret. He knows that the guest he awaits, billionaire trader Richard Roper, is ‘the worst man in the world.’ And he knows why. Pine will do whatever it takes to help the Intelligence services bring Roper down – even if it means going deep undercover into a ruthless, lawless world, up against forces more dangerous than he can imagine.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
After the black-and-white narrative of the Cold War fell apart, everything got a little greyer. Against that murky backdrop, spy-thriller master John Le Carré unleashed 1993’s The Night Manager, an intricate, globetrotting tale of revenge. We were hooked from the moment we first met endlessly likable hotel chef, ex-soldier and spy Jonathan Pine, who’s hell-bent on taking down notorious gangster Richard Onslow Roper. The novel’s tension never lets up—along with broken limbs, allegiances and hearts, Le Carré delivers an eerily realistic exploration of the amoral world of global intelligence.
Customer Reviews
Loved it
Unmistakable writing style and a hell of a page turner, especially the last few chapters. If you have seen the series but not read the book then you absolutely won’t regret picking this up.
Gripped
I was pleased to find the novel had a different set of ingredients while delivering a familiar flavour when compared to the TV series. The book was exquisitely paced and balanced excitement with the internal monologues of the characters.
The night manager
As arresting as ever.
