Wyatt

Wyatt expects a simple job: steal a collection of jewels. Instead, he finds himself working with Eddie Oberin and Eddie's ex-wife, Lydia, a sharp woman who knows things about the target that no one else does. What seemed like a clean plan soon grows tangled.

Garry Disher is an Australian crime writer, and this novel is part of his Wyatt series. The character is a hard-edged professional thief, a figure modeled on Richard Stark's Parker.
