The Night Manager

Individual greed takes the place of old world rivalries of great nations. Inside look at the international cartel of illegal arms dealers, and drug smugglers. Lays forth an understanding of paradoxes in our unquestioning perceptions between evil and virtue! Heavy reading at best; smashing thoughts!

First sentence: ON A SNOW-SWEPT January evening of 1991, Jonathan Pine, the English night manager of the Hotel Meister Palace in Zurich, forsook his office behind the reception desk and, in the grip of feelings he had not known before, took up his position in the lobby as a prelude to extending his hotel's welcome to a distinguished late arrival.
