PRESS REVIEWS

«A man, a painting, an enigma. Three excellent reasons to read the last Vallejo.» L’Express

«Specialist in strange situations and bizarre characters, the author of ‘Madame Angeloso’ creates with a master’s touch a disconcerting suspense filled with references to Hitchcock.»

Le Nouvel Observateur

«A really delightful book, with erudition, humour but also unexpected situations. It is truly an unusual gift for readers.»
