Published in 1993, le Carre’s Night Manager follows Jonathan Pine, a British soldier turned luxurious hotel night auditor.

The woman provides Pine with incriminating ********s, which he forwards to a friend in British intelligence.

He’s repped by WME, the U.K.’s Hamilton Hodell, Authentic Talent and Literary, and Peikoff Mahan. Farr is with Paradigm and the U.K.’s Curtis Brown Group.
For le Carre, Night Manager would mark his latest TV foray joining Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, A Perfect Spy, A Murder of Quality and more. On the film side, his adaptations include A Most Wanted Man, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Constant Gardener, The Spy Who Came In From the Cold and more.
