"A new Wyatt novel ... is cause for celebration. Though the ensemble cast is sharply drawn, the heart of the story is Wyatt, a cool-headed, taciturn, unsentimental thief with a code. Not the kind of code that makes him a good guy at heart, just a code for staying alive and out of jail. If there's an emotional tug, it's from Wyatt's sense that his time is almost up. 'He was an old-style hold-up man: cash, jewellery, paintings. . . . The trouble was, technology had outstripped him.' Wyatt may be a man out of time, but crime fiction like this is timeless."——Booklist, Starred Review

"A jewel heist that appears straightforward proves anything but in Australian author Disher's outstanding seventh thriller featuring Melbourne bank robber Wyatt Wareen, last seen in 1997's The Fallout... The spare, economical prose perfectly suits this tale of mad love and crimes gone wrong, which will remind many of Westlake's better Parker novels--and should boost the reputation of Disher, winner of Australia's Ned Kelly Award, in the U.S."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
