Synopsis:
Jonathan Pine, a former British soldier, is a night manager at a hotel. Pine has a complex character with a military background and schooling at the Duke of York’s Royal Military School in Dover.
- We first meet him in that capacity at the Hotel Meister Palace in Zurich. He is on duty when the ”worst man in the world”, Richard Onslow Roper, arrives with his entourage on a cold, blizzardy night. Roper is a billionaire criminal who traffics illegal arms and drugs.
- The novel is about Pine’s preoccupation with undoing Roper’s criminal enterprise, which began earlier, in Cairo, where Pine was working as the night manager at the luxurious Queen Nefertiti hotel.
