About this title

Review:

`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 *
