Wyatt snatches the cash easily enough. He bypasses the alarm system, eludes the cops, makes it safely back to his bolthole in Hobart. It's the diamond-studded Tiffany brooch - and perhaps the girl - that brings him undone. Now some very hard people want to put Wyatt and that brooch out of circulation. But this is Wyatt's game and Wyatt sets the rules - even if it means a reckoning somewhere far from home. Port Vila Blues is Wyatt's fifth heist. It's faster than ever, racing towrads the inevitable confrontation on a clifftop above the deceptively calm waters of Port Vila Bay. In a murky world where the cops are robbers, old-style crim Wyatt positively shines. Clear taut writing - not a word wasted. Marele Day ...tough, violent, relentless and thoroughly convincing Stuart Coupe
