Venus With Pistol by Lyall, Gavin Format: HardcoverPublished by Scribners, 1969 Condition Note: Missing dust jacket. For a skilled art smuggler like Kemp, the job looked easy. All he had to do was sneak a few extremely valuable paintings over the border from France into Switzerland—a simple task for a man of his experience. But when Kemp wakes up in a Zurich park covered in blood and without the priceless Cézanne he’d been carrying, it’s clear things have gone badly wrong. To add to his problems, Kemp has no memory of the attack—and no idea who carried it out. The next day Kemp runs into Harry Burroughs at the airport. Kemp suspects this is no coincidence—because Burroughs is a fine art dealer and an even finer crook. If Burroughs really is mixed up in all this, then Kemp knows that from now on he will have to earn his money the hard way—or he will lose more than just his fee.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
