When Thomas Lang, a hired gun 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.
I liked the fast moving action. The narrator really likes wise cracking to annoy the people he talks to. To the point that it irritated me, the reader also.
But still, it's fun that the superlative actor, Hugh Laurie, can also write a good novel.
