Garry Disher's cool, enigmatic anti-hero Wyatt has a job - a jewel heist. The kind Wyatt likes. Nothing extravagant, nothing greedy. Stake out the international courier, one Alain Le Page, hold up the goods in transit and get away fast.
Wyatt prefers to work alone, but this is Eddie Oberin's job. Eddie's very smart ex-wife Lydia has the inside information. Add Wyatt's planning genius and meticulous preparation, and what could possibly go wrong?
Plenty. And when you wrong Wyatt, you don't get to just walk away.
Taut plots, brilliant writing and relentless pace; plus an unforgettable cast, including the ever-elusive Wyatt himself: these are the hallmarks of Garry Disher's Wyatt series.
"Starred Review. The spare, economical prose perfectly suits this tale of mad love and crimes gone wrong, which will remind many of Westlake's better Parker novels." - Publishers Weekly
"Disher brings to his writing a polished style that is gritty, bare, and yet flowing." - Fair Dinkum Crime
"Wyatt is what Wyatt does, and let's hope it's not too long before he does it all again." - Crimespace
"Disher's prose is as straightforward and effective as Wyatt himself. His narrative structure is less straightforward.... Wyatt is so compelling it simply has to be read in one sitting." - The Australian
