Jonathan Pine is a 30-year-old man and the manager of a rather successful hotel in London. He has short light brown dark-blond hair and ocean-blue eyes. He is tall, handsome, and sporty. But he also has a soft spot for literature, because he enjoys reading books and there is a romantic in him. In addition to being a hotel manager, his job is as an undercover agent-spy who works for the British Intelligence. His boss and colleague is Angela Burr. His mission is to arrest famous drug and arms dealer Richard Roper.
