dllMmes off where ■

Port Vila Blues left him. On a boał with policewoman Liz Redding, and a fortunę in stolen gems. He escapes, triggering a manhunt, but who cxactly is hunting him?

While others search for sunken treasure in Bass Stroił and a stone-cold killer is sprung from goal, Wyatt joins forces with his nephew to puli one of his trickiest robberies.

In doing so he faces his most dangerous task yet— plumbing the depths within himself—and W may well prove fatal.

'Strong on detail and with lhot coldly detached understatemeni we are used to from Disher, although there are signs... that Wyatt may be morę human and less callous than we thougbt.'

J.R. CARROU 'In a murky world where the cops are robbers, old-style crim Wyatt positively shines. Clear taut writing—not a word wasted.'

MARCIE DAT

'For pure ex(itement and escapist entertainment it is bard to go past Garry Disher.'
