About this listen

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.

©1996 Hugh Laurie. Recorded by arrangement with Harold Ober Associates. (P)2012 HighBridge Company Espionage International Mystery & Crime Literature & Fiction Fiction Comedy Mystery

Excellent!

The story is fast moving and absolutely riveting. It is smart and funny and if you want to get all philosophical about it, it certainly makes you think/despair. The narration is just perfect too. Really well done. I'm not surprised that one of my favorite actors/comedians is also a skilled writer, but I didn't think this would be his genre. I'm very glad it is... more please!

Irrefutably Hugh Laurie

An interesting quagmire for Thomas Lang, narrated brilliantly by Simon Prebble who, for all his differences from Mr. Laurie, makes you forget you’re not listening to Mr. Laurie! You can hear his voice and whit in every masterful sentence! Quite an enjoyable listen!

A novel effort by Hugh Laurie

It was an engaging story for what it is. I enjoyed listening to it but it was gone from my mind a day later. #Audible1
