Sinopsis
A Gun for Sale is a 1936 novel by Graham Greene. This novel was made into a film in 1941 and renamed This Gun for Hire, which was also the title of the book's U.S. edition. Alan Ladd was cast as Raven in the film, but the character's description in the book suggests someone quite different. Raven is a man dedicated to ugly deeds. When Raven is paid for killing the Minister of War with stolen notes, he becomes a man on the run.
