The latest novel from Australia's King of Crime.
Wyatt needs a job. A bank job would be nice, or a security van hold-up. As long as he doesn't have to work with cocky idiots and strung-out meth-heads like the Pepper brothers.
That's the sort of miscalculation that buys you the wrong kind of time. So he contacts a man who in the past put him on the right kind of heist. And finds himself in Noosa, stealing a painting for Hannah Sten. He knows how it's done: case the premises, set up escape routes and failsafes, get in and get out with the goods unrecognised.
Make a good plan; back it up with another. And be very, very careful. But who is his client? Who else wants that painting? Sometimes, being very careful is not enough.
Praise for Bitter Wash Road:
"There is a lot to like in this story, with several unexpected and surprising changes in direction combined with Disher's usual deft plotting and economically drawn but fully fleshed out main and peripheral characters." - The Guardian
"A superb chronicler of macho pop culture." - The Sunday Times
