“Like an Australian Bob le Flambeur, Disher’s titular robber is smooth, calm and planning a big heist. ”
—Entertainment Weekly
“The first U.S. appearance of this series, and it's just brilliant. ”
—Seattle Times
“Once again Disher takes us back to the golden age of thrillers, a time when they were fast, taut and dependably suspenseful. ”
—Kirkus Reviews, 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 ... and should boost the reputation of Disher, winner of Australia's Ned Kelly Award, in the U.S. ”
