More about the book
Leaving Cold War tensions behind, John le Carre creates a memorable novel in which adventure, romance, and moral ambiguity become intertwined. In Cairo, soldier-turned-hotelier Jonathan Pine falls in love with the mysterious Sophie, who has stolen documents about Richard Onslow Roper’s arms dealing from her wealthy playboy lover. Jonathan’s foolish patriotism leads to Sophie’s exposure and murder. Moving to Zurich, he decides to destroy Roper after the arrogant master criminal becomes a guest in the hotel where he is now employed.
