Who is Jonathan Pine in The Night Manager?
The night manager with the soldier underneath · The Operation
Jonathan Pine (The night manager with the soldier underneath) is a character in The Night Manager, part of The Operation. Jonathan Pine manages luxury hotels at night the way he once soldiered in Iraq: immaculately, anonymously, feelings checked at the cloakroom. In Cairo during the Arab Spring, a guest hands him documents that could stop an arms deal — and his choice of conscience over discretion gets her killed. Years later, in a Swiss hotel at 2 a.m., the man behind that deal checks in with his entourage, and Pine accepts the offer British intelligence has been waiting to make: become someone else, get inside, and take Richard Roper apart from the heart of his family.
