Description

The latest gripping novel in the popular Wyatt series kicks off with our enigmatic anti-hero committing a robbery in Sydney, then unfolds on the beaches of Newcastle. Some people just work better alone. Wyatt's one of them. He's been getting by on nice quiet little burglaries-one-man jobs-when he gets wind of something bigger. A corporate crook, notorious Ponzi schemer, set to face court and certain jail time. He's about to skip bail the old-fashioned way- on a luxury yacht with a million dollars in cash. Wyatt thinks it sounds like something he should get into. He's not alone.
