From the brilliantly funny Hugh Laurie, British comedian and star of TV medical drama House, comes a debut novel that will have his existing fans - and anyone who loves the dark humour of Stephen Fry and Ben Elton's books -

laughing out loud.

When Thomas Lang, a hired gunman with a soft heart, is contracted to assassinate an American industrialist, he opts instead to warn the intended victim - a good deed that doesn't go unpunished.

Within hours Lang is butting heads with a Buddha statue, matching wits with evil billionaires, and putting his life (among other things) in the hands of a bevy of femmes fatales, whilst trying to save a beautiful lady ... and prevent an international bloodbath to boot.

A wonderfully funny novel from one of Britain's most famous comedians and star of award-winning US TV medical drama series, House.

Reviews for The Gun Seller

Clever and hilarious, with a story that is intricate, tense and well researched - and unstintingly joyous read * Time Out * A ripping spoof of the spy genre * Vanity Fair * A very funny book ... makes many another comic novel look slow-witted in comparison * Sunday Telegraph * A terrific debut * Daily Telegraph *
