Careful, exacting and ruthless, Wyatt is a consummate criminal and a solitary giant in Australian crime writing.<br>
<br>
This time it’s a payroll and bank run in the north of South Australia, an outpost town suddenly transformed by a pipeline construction project that brings petty crime, prostitution—and opportunity. It’s a town with its own secrets and Wyatt isn’t quick to trust at the best of times. But he’s on the run and he can’t afford to be choosy.<br>
<br>
This is another masterpiece of orchestration and unravelling, anchored by an unforgettable ticking-clock sequence that will keep you swiping those pages. Fans of Garry Disher’s other writing may recognise the landscape and some of the place names of <a href="http://www.ligatu.re/book/the-sunken-road/"><b><i>The Sunken Road</i></b></a>, and fans of noir and hard-boiled fiction will find a fascinating extension of the genre.
