The Night Manager
reviewed on + 813 more book reviews


Jonathan Pine has forsaken his Army career to become the night manager for a chain of posh hotels on the continent and in North Africa. They are so posh, in fact, that they cater to the utmost rabble in the overt underworld of arms dealers, drug smugglers, and most other criminal endeavors imaginable. As a sideline he dabbles in a bit of spying. Little wonder that a consortium of British covert factions seeks his favor to topple one of these evil empires. His past unravels to expose his future. But then, just as the trap is to be sprung, the government political criminals play their hands. It begins with turf spats and endswell read the book.
