Book 5
Wyatt, the cool, ever-evasive thief, snatches the cash easily enough. He bypasses the alarm system, eludes the cops, makes it safely back to his hideout in Hobart. It's the diamond-studded Tiffany brooch—and perhaps the girl—that undoes him. Now some very hard people want to put Wyatt and that brooch out of circulation. But this is Wyatt's game and Wyatt sets the rules—even if it means a reckoning somewhere far from home. In a murky world where the cops are robbers, old-style criminal Wyatt positively shines.
Book 6
The Fallout is Wyatt's sixth job, and it takes off where Port Vila Blues left him. On a boat with policewoman Liz Redding, and a fortune in stolen gems. He escapes, triggering a manhunt, but who exactly is hunting him? While others search for sunken treasure in Bass Strait and a stone-cold killer is sprung from goal, Wyatt joins forces with hiS nephew to pull one of his trickiest robberies. In doing so he faces his most dangerous task yet-plumbing the depths within himself-and it may well prove fatal. Strong on detail and with that coldly detatched understatement we are used to from Disher, although there are signs...that Wyatt may be more human and less callous than we thought. J.R. Carroll In a mirky world where the cops are robbers, old-style crim Wyatt positively shines. Clear taut writing - not a word wasted.
