We are in a new arena of intrigue where the old rivalries of great nations have been suplanted by the ravages of individual greed. We are in a new world of espionage where the habits and rules forged by past generations of spies are put to more shocking use. We are inside the international cartel of illegal arms dealers and drug smugglers, now rising to unheard-of power under the command of men whose ruthlessness is matched only by their limitless hunger for unlimited wealth. I is this worlds, in all its brilliant corruption, that John le Carré now opens up for us. His peerless gifts -- hismastery of storytelling and characterization -- have never been more stuningly empoyed. In The Night Manager, the hypnotic narrative is charged by a luminous understanding of the paradoxes implicit in our perceptions of evildoing and virtue. Goodreads 3.82.
