The Gun Seller

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.

Clever and hilarious, with a story that is intricate, tense and well researched - and unstintingly joyous read

A very funny book ... makes many another comic novel look slow-witted in comparison

Hugh Laurie was born in 1959. At Cambridge University he took part in a number of undergraduate revues, the last of which won the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1981. Since university he has made his living as a writer, actor, director and musician, appearing in, amongst others, Blackadder, A Bit of Fry &amp; Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster and House. He lives in London with his wife and three children, and is utterly devoted to motorcycling.

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.

 With four brilliant series of great satire, comic genius and hilarious use of language, the show cemented Fry &amp; Laurie as a double act and paved the way for their future stardom.
