Description
Cold-blooded murder just isn’t Thomas Lang’s cup of tea. Offered a bundle to assassinate an American industrialist, he opts to warn the intended victim instead—a good deed that soon takes a bad turn. Quicker than he can down a shot of his favorite whiskey, Lang is bashing heads with a Buddha statue, matching wits with evil billionaires, and putting his life (among other things) in the hands of a bevy of femme fatales.
Up against rogue CIA agents, wannabe terrorists, and an arms dealer looking to make a high-tech killing, Lang’s out to save the leggy lady he has come to love . . . and prevent an international bloodbath to boot.

Reviews
The book has a strong start but towards the middle it really starts bogging down under it's own weight. I wasn't sure it would be able to lift itself up before the end but in the final few chapters it manages to get up and all come together.
A good novel from someone who does better as an actor this book could have benefited greatly from a trim. In the end I though it was still worth the read and if Hugh Laurie gets around to writing another book I'll give it a try.
