The Night Manager

By: John le Carré

Narrated by: Michael Jayston

Brought to you by Penguin.

In The Night Manager, an ex-soldier helps British Intelligence penetrate the secret world of ruthless arms dealers.

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 Carré creates a claustrophobic world in which no one can be trusted.

Critic reviews

A beautifully polished, utterly knowing, and palpitating book.

A marvellously observed relentless tale.

One of those writers who will be read a century from now. (Robert Harris)

Complex and intense ... page-turning tension.

Excellent narration

Great intercontinental journey. At times the love story slows the action down, but gripping, detailed political manoeuvres make it all worthwhile.
