## Synopsis

John le Carré's hotelier-turned-spy gets a second life beyond the novel: recruited by MI6 to burrow into the private worlds of arms dealers, Jonathan Pine trades the night desk for deep cover — first inside Richard Roper's gilded inner circle, then, a decade later, in a Colombian gun-running network commanded by the magnetic Teddy Dos Santos. David Farr's continuation pairs five-star settings with dirty money, keeping Tom Hiddleston's watchful charmer forever one lie away from exposure.
