Críticas:
'Venus With Pistol' belongs on the same shelf with Mr. Lyall's earlier success, 'Midnight Plus One'. There is the same breeziness, the same sure command of action sequences and the same gift of phrase-making. (The New York Times)
Lean and literate suspense (Guardian)
Very lively and appropriately picturesque (The Kirkus Review)
Assault, gunfire and murder mark the art find of the century, 'Venus with Pistol', worth 2,500,000 if genuine. (The New York Times 1969-10-26)
Reseña del editor:
Lean and literate suspense' Guardian
It seemed like money for old rope. All Kemp had to do was arrange the smooth passage of a Cezanne across the border to Switzerland, and anything was preferable to London in January.
But on awaking in a Zurich park with a bump the size of a burial mound on his head, minus the priceless work he'd been carrying, he reckons he may have underestimated the situation. Running into Harry Burroughs at the airport the next day can't be a coincidence, as Burroughs is a fine art dealer, and an even finer crook. If he is mixed up in all this, Kemp knows that from now on he will have to earn his money the hard way.
