Cold-blooded murder just isn’t Thomas Lang’s cup of tea. Offered a tidy sum to assassinate an American industrialist, he opts to warn the intended victim instead — a good deed that soon takes a bad turn. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuicker than he can down a shot of his favourite 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 femmes fatales. Up against rogue CIA agents, wanna-be terrorists, and an arms dealer looking to make a high-tech killing, Lang is out to save the leggy lady he has come to love — and prevent an international bloodbath to boot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Gun Seller\u003c\/b\u003e is a terrific debut novel by the well-known British comedian, actor and star of the American TV series \u003ci\u003eHouse\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Laurie, Hugh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Mystery)","offer_id":46412974588128,"sku":"","price":11.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/Screenshot2024-10-05at5.25.21PM.png?v=1728159927","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/the-gun-sellerbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
