Beschreibung:
From the brilliantly funny Hugh Laurie, British comedian and star of The Night Manager 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.
'A ripping spoof of the spy genre' Vanity Fair
'Clever and hilarious' Time Out
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 page-turning story with a cast of unforgettable characters, The Gun Seller is the fantastically funny smash hit first novel by comedian and acclaimed actor Hugh Laurie.
