The Fallout: A Wyatt Novel [Paperback]

Garry Disher (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1997 | Series: A Wyatt novel

The Fallout is Wyatt's sixth job, and it takes off where Port Vila Blues left him. On a boat with policewoman Liz Redding, and a fortune in stolen gems. He escapes, triggering a manhunt, but who exactly is hunting him? While others search for sunken treasure in Bass Strait and a stone-cold killer is sprung from goal, Wyatt joins forces with hiS nephew to pull one of his trickiest robberies. In doing so he faces his most dangerous task yet-plumbing the depths within himself-and it may well prove fatal. Strong on detail and with that coldly detatched understatement we are used to from Disher, although there are signs...that Wyatt may be more human and less callous than we thought. J.R. Carroll In a mirky world where the cops are robbers, old-style crim Wyatt positively shines. Clear taut writing - not a word wasted. Marele Day For pure excitement and escapist entertainment it is hard to go past Garry Disher. Canberra Times

I don't know why Gary Disher isn't well-known over here... his WYATT books are simply wonderful. This is required reading for Willeford, Westlake, and Thomas Perry fans. FALL OUT is the last book in the series... so start at the beginning with KICKBACK and you won't be sorry. I read all six books in the series in one stretch and was sad when it was over.

5.0 out of 5 stars the Devin Wind, April 1, 2000

By 

Christy Belfrage (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Fallout: A Wyatt Novel (Paperback)

The book The Devin Wind is a great book written by Garry Disher. It is set in broom in the 1946's and is about 4 friends, Hart, Alice(who are brother and sister), Jamie and Mitsy,who go through a lot with World War 2 happening and Broom getting bombed, and with close ones getting killed. The book is mainly about frindship and two friends who fall in love, and they are both from a different cultural background. I would recomend this book to any one who likes a good book to read and enjoy reading a love story ,and with a great story line. when you start reading it you will just want to finish reading it.
