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.

Hugh Laurie has a great writing style: witty and you're never quite sure what direction the story will go. Unfortunately I couldn't connect with any of his characters or the storyline. I'll stick with Graham Greene for my spy stories from now on, and House for my Hugh Laurie fix.
