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 Land 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.

Safely received from Belgium along with a lovely card and some fabbo chocolate. Thanks and Happy Christmas!

Something else that Hugh Laurie appears to be effortlessly good at. However, there's something (and I'm not entirely sure what) about this book that I found a bit disappointing. Either it's a very subtle nuance within the somewhat multi-layered plot that I missed or I'm just easily confused! Nonetheless a good start to the New Year.

On its way to a fellow BCUK Extra member as part of the 2011 Birthday book Exchange for January.

Thank you very much for this birthday book, am looking forward to reading it.
