EXCERPT: Wyatt tensed. A silver BMW had emerged from the Frome place. The headlights plunged, then levelled as the car entered Lansell Road. Wyatt counted heads: Frome driving, wife next to him, kids in the back. He checked the time - 8 p.m. - and watched the BMW disappear in the direction of Toorak Road.
'Let's go,' Sugarfoot Younger said.
He reached for the key in the ignition but before he could turn it, Wyatt's fingers closed like a steel clamp on his wrist. He looked around. The eyes were close and remorseless in Wyatt's narrow face.
'We wait,' Wyatt said.
ABOUT 'KICKBACK': Reprint of a thriller first published in 1991, featuring Wyatt, a stylish bank robber whose inscrutable methods ensure he never gets caught - until he meets Anna Reid.
MY THOUGHTS: I loved this author's Paul Hirschausen series, which earned a solid five stars for each of the three books from me. This series starts many years earlier, in a time when cell phones were like bricks, DNA evidence was almost unheard of, but 'plastic money' is beginning to make its presence felt. And that's a problem for Wyatt Wareen, who lives on the fringes of the Melbourne criminal underworld. A man used to big takes and working with other professionals is suddenly reduced to taking whatever jobs he can get, and working with idiots who have fanciful ideas well beyond their capabilities.
Disher is an author who neither wastes nor minces words. He tells it like it is. The plot is fast paced and suspenseful, the writing tense and terse. A lustful woman, a drug-taking safecracker, a 'wannabe' know-it-all, and a man with connections to Sydney mobsters help flesh out the plot.
I'll be coming back for more of this series.
I listened to the audiobook adeptly narrated by Dorje Swallow.

A short and speedy read, this is an excellent introduction to the Wyatt series.
Kickback was originally published in 1991 so it harks back to the good old days before technology took over the crime scene. Thirty years old and it reads a little like historical fiction and that is not a bad thing. I enjoyed it very much.
Wyatt is a great character. He is intelligent, reserved, a loner who does not care much for other people. He is also a master criminal although one who has morals - drugs for example are a no go area for him. His pleasure is in pulling off the perfect heist and making enough cash to spend the next six months somewhere pleasant like Italy. I liked his style.
There is a nice little twist at the end of the book which proves Wyatt is no one's fool. I am very much looking forward to reading more about him.

“‘Stay out of Wyatt’s way. You’re not in the same league.’ Sugarfoot scowled. He’d been hearing nothing else all afternoon. Hours of listening to crap, being treated like sh*t. Worse, stuff about IQ, snide stuff he’d been hearing all his life. On top of being bashed twice in a week. They could all go and get f**ked.”
It’s pretty obvious right from the start that Bruno ‘Sugarfoot’ Younger isn’t in Wyatt’s league. He’s not even in big brother Ivan Younger’s league. He’s the kind of crook who fantasises about being as famous as the Younger Brothers of Jesse James fame in cowboy America. I could just imagine him as a kid in Victoria dreaming of being an American train robber.
This is the first of Disher’s Wyatt series, and I admit when I started it, I was less than overwhelmed. Wyatt is taciturn and private. He doesn’t do small talk, especially really small talk like what comes out of Sugarfoot’s mouth most of the time.
“He watched Wyatt, waiting for a response. Wyatt said nothing, merely lifted his wrist to check the time. Like all his movements, it was fluid and economical.
‘There’s this film about them,’ Sugarfoot said. ”The Long Riders”. About how they were always getting hassled, so they hit back. They did trains, banks, whatever. I got the video at home.’
Wyatt had heard about this cowboy fixation. It probably accounted for the name Sugarfoot, a name from an old television show, but he hoped somebody was being ironical when they gave that name to Bruno Younger. Bruno Younger was the right age for a cowboy punk, about twenty-one, but he was a heavy-featured vicious boy and Wyatt could not imagine him robbing a train on horseback.”
Punk is right. Wyatt is a serious crim, one who picks his jobs carefully, makes sure all of his ducks are lined up, keeps the details to himself and involves few other people. He controls his operations as precisely as possible, salts away the money until he has enough to go to stay somewhere warm for six months and relax.
Sugarfoot is driving him to suss out a small new job, because Ivan has sent his kid brother to learn the ropes – an apprentice. Of course, he gets antsy with Wyatt’s lack of conversation, the lack of information, being told to wait in the car, and generally being treated like a kid brother. He's told to wait for a reason.
“Hoons like Sugarfoot Younger got jumpy before a job. They were never as solid as you’d like. They swallowed uppers and blundered in and made mistakes. Which is fine, he thought, if you’re not working with them.”
Wyatt has heard about an office safe that should be holding considerable funds for a very short period, and he gets to know a woman who works in the office. His personal life picks up a little then, and his cold exterior thaws up a bit for the reader (not for Sugarfoot, of course).
He needs a safe-cracker, which means letting someone else know the details. Sugarfoot tries to put two and two together and does get close to four, which endangers everything. He begins his own amateur sleuthing, and the action ramps up just as Wyatt realises Sugarfoot might be an actual threat. He knows he must stay watchful.
“Wyatt wondered if it was living alone, always in the present, that had made him unlucky. Love for him had become a brief release with women who would never know or understand what he did. The rest of the time he waited for treachery from people he was obliged to trust, and never could he relax his guard against the death dealer he’d never see, never meet.”
I did eventually warm to Wyatt, and I thought the ending had an interesting, slightly tantalising twist. That and my growing fondness of Wyatt and my great admiration for Disher’s later work means I will probably return to this early series.

This is the first in the Wyatt series. I have to say that I am a big fan of Garry Disher having read the Hirschhausen series.
This is an earlier work and Wyatt is a professional thief located in the Greater Melbourne area. Down on his luck and money he accepts an 'insurance job' for a local criminal group and soon finds himself dealing with a bit of a mess when his inexperienced accomplice stuffs up.
This is about the darker side of Melbourne moving through many familiar landmarks.
Ending on a bit of a cliffhanger, I am looking forward to the next instalment!

Wyatt stood where he could watch the door to the alley and the door through to the showroom. He did it automatically, in the way that he also avoided lifts, call boxes and other confined spaces, stood back from a door once he’d knocked on it, used crowds for protection, avoided unlighted areas. It was like breathing.
First published in 1991, author Garry Disher introduced to the world an Australian anti-hero and master thief in Wyatt, living quietly off his proceeds and his wits on the Mornington Peninsular south of Melbourne, where his neighbours know him by sight under a different name. Few people knew his true identity, he can only be reached via a single phone contact, and chooses his jobs with care, preferring to work alone and using trusted fences. But things rarely run to plan and in the opening pages Wyatt is working an insurance job put his way and is hamstrung by his fence’s younger brother, a light-fingered fantasist.
He watched the street. He would wait all night if a job required it. Hoons like Sugarfoot Younger got jumpy before a job. They were never as solid as you’d like. They swallowed uppers and blundered in and made mistakes…
When the job goes awry Wyatt bails out, leaving the stash behind, with people in the loop left owing monies to underworld figures. To address this they need Wyatt to pull a big job. But a big job needs meticulous planning and resources: vehicles, firearms, a safe house to operate from, and that needs funding; so two small jobs need to be pulled, to bankroll the big one.
Sometimes, the earlier works of an author can disappoint, but we are in safe hands here. I won’t go into details of the plot or villains involved beyond that there’s an insider job on a shady law firm with mob connections and a hitman, but it’s the descriptions of people and places that are the hallmark of the writing: as if the reader is standing beside a cynical Wyatt, as he checks out a safe house.
Wyatt walked to the main window, which looked down over Queens Road, the golf course and Albert Park Lake. Some mugs were out on the lake, one or two miserable sails bending in the wind. He turned away, examined the room, and went into the bedrooms and the bathroom. Rocky followed him, almost upon his heels, keys rattling, smelling nastily of aftershave. It was like being in a resort hotel, like a beer baron’s wife’s idea of good taste. Pastel walls, glossy white wooden surfaces, terracotta ornaments, varnished cane and rattan, bright cotton cushions and chair coverings, Mexican rugs, vaguely Aboriginal prints on the walls, vases the colour and shape of candy chips.
And the armorer…
He heard shuffling footsteps behind the door and sensed an eye at the peephole. Two locks were opened. The door swung back. Flood, a small, gloomy man dressed in overalls, said nothing but turned and shuffled back into the house. The air was hot and stale and smelt of toast and pipe smoke. Wyatt followed Flood through a poky sitting-room where gas flames flickered in an ancient heater, to a kitchen at the back of the house. The ceramic sink was chipped and yellowed. Beaten fruit-tin lids had been nailed over cracks in the linoleum. A nervy black cat eyed Wyatt from a wooden kitchen dresser.
Naturally, written thirty years ago the technology is a bit dated, but the writing is as fresh as ever. The whole Wyatt series is highly recommended.

Really thought I would enjoy reading a story from a bad guys, bank robber POV...unfortunately I couldn't get into the characters...
January 8, 2016
A quick, fun read - definitely a homage to Stark's Parker, just set in Australia. Not quite as well done, but I have high hopes that they'll get better, so I'm going to read another. Wyatt is an interesting character, same as Parker, but a little more human. He has the same employment & issues with it. This one was good & twisty, a lot of the same sort of issues that would haunt Parker.

“… thriller first published in 1991, featuring Wyatt, a stylish bank robber whose inscrutable methods ensure he never gets caught - until he meets Anna Reid.
This is the perfect introduction to an exquisite series: hard-boiled Melbourne in the time of video rentals and answering machines, paper money, Datsuns and Customlines. It’s as sinewy and efficient as Wyatt himself, superbly crafted and relentlessly tense.“
Australian crime-noir. Sparse prose, good plot with a nice and steady build-up of tension. I could have done without the casual and unsubtle racism. Unexpected twist at the end that I did not see coming. Well done!
I did run out of steam towards the end though. Not sure if it was me or if it just took too long for the final part to come to a conclusion. Decent read, if you are in the mood for this type of crime noir. I decided to remove book #2 of this series from my TBR pile though.

PROTAGONIST: Wyatt
SETTING: Australia
SERIES: #1 of 7
RATING: 4.0
WHY: Wyatt is a professional thief whose hit on some hard times. The jobs just aren't coming in, and he's been forced to take on a few that he normally would not have. But finally, there's what appears to be a decent job ahead, stealing a lawyer's safe that is full of hush money. Wyatt isn't entirely happy with the crew that he is working with. He's a no-nonsense thief who focuses on the task at hand without emotion. If you cross him, he'll kill you. Uncharacteristically, he's found himself interested in the female lawyer who set up the job. This is the book that introduced Wyatt, and it's a good one.

I have read several of Disher's novels in the Wyatt series and they are all quite competent, noir in the manner of Quarry, and Parker, and Keller. This was the first in the series and I wish I had read it first. They are all stand-alones, but this one sets the stage, if you will.
As with Lawrence Block, all of Disher's creations are wonderful ways to spend an afternoon. Get them all.

"Kickback" is book one in the Wyatt series by Garry Disher. In "Kickback" Garry Disher introduces his new character Wyatt who is a professional criminal. Wyatt takes on insurance jobs for people for a commission and lives the high life in rural Victoria. In "Kickback" Wyatt took on a job for Ivan Younger and against his better judgement allowed Ivan's kid brother Sugarfoot to come long. However, disaster happens, and the housekeeper dies. The readers of "Kickback" will continue to follow the twists and turns to see what happens to Wyatt.
"Kickback" was the first book I have read in this series, and I love it. The way the characters interact with each other and Garry Disher portrayal of the main character was fantastic. "Kickback" was well written and researched by Garry Disher. I like how Garry Disher describes his settings and the plot of "Kickback" in a way that ensured that I engaged with this book.
The readers of "Kickback" will learn about the problems and consequences of wanting revenge on another person. Also, the readers of "Kickback" will learn about corruption in the legal profession and the consequences for everyone involved.
I recommend this book.

Wyatt is a professional. He is organised, thoughtful, a good planner and a loner. He is also a criminal. He is not a tallker although he can listen if he has to. He doesn't approve of using violence in his jobs but don't cross him. He has a nice property in the hills and he has regular overseas holidays. Until recently he has done a big job every six months or so to fund his lifestyle. Unfortunately things are changing and coming a little unravelled. Now he is trying to put together a job in Melbourne with the right people and the right supports. But things are not turning out as planned.
Garry Disher is such a good writer. Wyatt is an antihero without being obnoxious or nasty. And I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characterisation of not only Wyatt but all the characters is great. The dialogue is excellent. And the plot is also very good.
This book was published in 1994 and is great to read a theft plot that does not rely on digital technology. There is also an element of nostalgia, which I enjoyed.

January 3, 2014The first of Disher's "Wyatt" series, which can be read as an Australian homage to Richard Stark's (Donald Westlake's) "Parker"--except that it's also fantastic in its own right. Wyatt is a tough, mean, methodical criminal, and you don't want to cross him. Disher writes clean, tight, but also somehow literary hard-boiled prose, and this story of a heist and assorted double-crossings is tough to put down. Highly recommended if you can find it--long OP and almost impossible to track down. As a bonus, the Aussie slang is fantastic--I was glad I'd spent some time Down Under so I could follow at least a bit of it.

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.

Short but hard-nosed and punchy, just the way I like them. Disher uses minimum brush strokes to create fully-formed characters and little scenic details that sing with timeless truth. Fast pacing keeps the plot always one step ahead of the reader, the story tight and taut to the very last page. Read it in two days and immediately bought the next in the series.

Wyatt muss mal wieder einen Job durchziehen. Einen großen. Er ist ein Profi im Stehlen und Einbrechen. Jeder Job wird präzise geplant und durchgeführt. Aber weil sich die Sicherheit in vielen Bereichen in letzter Zeit verbessert hat muss er auf Gelegenheitsjobs zurückgreifen. So bricht er in einem Haus ein zusammen mit Sugarfoot Younger. Dem Bruder von seinem Auftraggeber. Dieser hatte ihn gebeten seinen Bruder mitzunehmen damit er was lernt. Doch Sugarfoot hält sich nicht an die Regeln und eine Haushälterin stirbt.
Wyatt verprügelt Sugarfoot vor seinem Bruder und dieser schwört Rache. Er nimmt seine Fantasien dabei von alten Cowboyfilmen, die er immer zum Einschlafen schaut.
Wyatt bekommt kurze Zeit später einen Job angeboten. Es geht darum einen Anwalt zu bestehlen, der 300.000 Dollar Schwarzgeld in seinem Safe hat.
Diese Informationen kommen von Anna Reid, die die Kanzlei zusammen mit dem Anwalt, Finn, führt.
Für den Job braucht Wyatt jemanden der den Safe knackt, Pedersen und einen dritten Mann im Boot, Hobba.
Sie planen den Raub sorgfältig. Es passiert bei Tag während Klienten in der Kanzlei sind.
Sugarfoot währenddessen kriegt Wind davon mit, dass Wyatt einen Job durchziehen möchte und will bei diesem was abgreifen und sich an Wyatt rächen, nachdem dieser erneut Sugarfoots Pläne durchkreuzt.
So kommt es zum Showdown zwischen Sugarfoot und Wyatt und Wyatt geht als Sieger davon. Erfährt aber vorher, dass Anna sie alle hinters Licht geführt hat, denn sie hatte von Anfang an den Plan Drogen, die ebenfalls in dem Safe waren, verschwinden zu lassen.
Auch wenn ich beim Lesen zwischenzeitlich eine kurze Pause hatte, war das Buch doch unterhaltsam. Ich mochte es, dass der Überfall langsam aufgebaut wurde. Wyatt, auch wenn er kein Sympat ist, hat super in die Rolle gepasst. Ich mochte außerdem, die Erzählstruktur. Kurze Kapitel, nichts Überflüssiges enthalten. Die Story war jetzt nicht neu erfunden und es war auch nicht super überraschend, dass Anna einen anderen Plan hatte, aber das war in dem Moment auch gar nicht so wichtig, weil man sich einfach unterhalten gefühlt hat.
Verwirrend waren zwischendrin allerdings verschiedene Charaktere. Es war so geschrieben, dass es für Wyatt mehr oder weniger klar war wer die Leute sind, was es authentisch gemacht hat, aber man hatte das Gefühl, dass man nicht zu 100% alle Informationen hat.
Es war ein guter Krimi. Gute Stimmung. Gute Charaktere. Guter Fall. Gut.

Diese Informationen kommen von Anna Reid, die die Kanzlei zusammen mit dem Anwalt, Finn, führt.
Für den Job braucht Wyatt jemanden der den Safe knackt, Pedersen und einen dritten Mann im Boot, Hobba.
Sie planen den Raub sorgfältig. Es passiert bei Tag während Klienten in der Kanzlei sind.
Sugarfoot währenddessen kriegt Wind davon mit, dass Wyatt einen Job durchziehen möchte und will bei diesem was abgreifen und sich an Wyatt rächen, nachdem dieser erneut Sugarfoots Pläne durchkreuzt.
So kommt es zum Showdown zwischen Sugarfoot und Wyatt und Wyatt geht als Sieger davon. Erfährt aber vorher, dass Anna sie alle hinters Licht geführt hat, denn sie hatte von Anfang an den Plan Drogen, die ebenfalls in dem Safe waren, verschwinden zu lassen.
Auch wenn ich beim Lesen zwischenzeitlich eine kurze Pause hatte, war das Buch doch unterhaltsam. Ich mochte es, dass der Überfall langsam aufgebaut wurde. Wyatt, auch wenn er kein Sympat ist, hat super in die Rolle gepasst. Ich mochte außerdem, die Erzählstruktur. Kurze Kapitel, nichts Überflüssiges enthalten. Die Story war jetzt nicht neu erfunden und es war auch nicht super überraschend, dass Anna einen anderen Plan hatte, aber das war in dem Moment auch gar nicht so wichtig, weil man sich einfach unterhalten gefühlt hat.
Verwirrend waren zwischendrin allerdings verschiedene Charaktere. Es war so geschrieben, dass es für Wyatt mehr oder weniger klar war wer die Leute sind, was es authentisch gemacht hat, aber man hatte das Gefühl, dass man nicht zu 100% alle Informationen hat.
Es war ein guter Krimi. Gute Stimmung. Gute Charaktere. Guter Fall. Gut.

A brilliant start to the smooth and entertaining Wyatt series.
December 4, 2008
A few years ago, I discovered that my public library has a bookstore. This is very cool – I hauled a good summer’s worth of reading out of there for less than $15.
One of my finds was a book called Kickback (1991) by an Australian named Garry Disher. This is the first of the Wyatt Series (Wyatt is the main character). My first and lasting impression was that if Elmore Leonard was an Aussie, this is what he’d write. The Wyatt thrillers have been called a landmark in Australian crime writing, according to Harper Collins Publishers.
The mid-north of South Australia is the setting. Except for some of the terminology, however, the city could be any US metropolitan area. Wyatt is a professional robber and in the Leonard tradition is the coolest character in the book. He has a young Clint Eastwood thing going: He’s quiet, watchful, careful, and sharp. Wyatt has no close friends and he keeps an eye on his associates. You can’t help but respect him and the way he operates.
The story is crisp, well-plotted, and has a few unexpected twists. A heist is complicated by a surly cowboy named Sugarfoot Younger who is out for his piece of the action and personal revenge. The book is a quick and fun read that flows smoothly and effortlessly. As a writer, I'm jealous.

If you like the Parker books by Richard Stark (Donald Westlake) or the Nolan books by Max Allan Collins, you'll feel right at home with Garry Disher's Wyatt series. The fact that the series about a professional thief is set in Australia is just a great bonus.
This book is tight, streamlined, and fleshed-out. It also has multiple plot threads and twists that will probably catch most readers by surprise.
I'm looking forward to reading more of the series.

Crime novels aren’t really my thing, but I read this book for an Australian author challenge. I found all of the characters really unlikeable and didn’t get into the story as much as I would have liked but it was ok.

I really enjoyed the character of Wyatt and could sense this was the start of a series. I also enjoyed the Australian setting, even though it was Melbourne based and so mostly unfamiliar to a Sydneysider.
The story itself was just ok. Fairly straightforward with no real surprises. I listened to the audiobook, so I think I should try a physical version for the next book in the series.

From Dashiell Hammett to Dan Simmons the thriller that transferred to the silver screen as the French term "film noir" had a decidedly American style. Enter Wyatt and a purely Australian version. Garry Disher has the touch. This is a taut thriller told from the criminal point of view. Wyatt is a loner who plans everything carefully but has to work with others on the "big jobs".....and "there's the rub." Disher knows crime and his novels show that he honors this genre. His writing is crisp but his characterization is well-executed. Fast and merry read for those who enjoy this stuff.

I'm a fan of Garry Disher's Hal Challis, the DI from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria but Wyatt Lake was a new character to me.
It was a curious thing, to read about the criminal and not the police, with the planning of the crime according to the strict and professional methodology of Wyatt which is some ways mirrors Challis' own. The characters however are much the same; they are in a situation where they need the jobs, the drugs or the excitement and they seem to operate in the short term for a job. Wyatt has more stability in his life, he has a house and a private life that he keeps separate from his work and he is careful of the jobs he accepts.
He takes a robbery job with the inside knowledge of Anna Reid, to rob the safe of her employer of cash, and he works with Pederson and Hobba to execute it, with careful planning of cars, alternate accommodation and the job seems to go well. Unaccountably he takes Anna home to his safe house, with the expectation she will work with him in the future and things unravel from there.
Several members of the criminal fraternity are killed as well as the owner of the business robbed of the safe and the city becomes very unsafe for Wyatt. There seems to be another agenda underlying the deaths. Surprisingly Anna turns out to have taken the drug haul in the safe without Wyatt's knowledge and planned to sell these herself. Sadly his plans of her future role in his bed and criminal life have flown away.
Crime boss Ivan Younger's younger brother, Sugarfoot, a wanna be cowboy, had been assigned to work with Wyatt but caused a woman to die in the course of the crime, probably because she was beaten by him.
He became hostile to Wyatt and began hunting the members of the successful gang, with some success. Eventually Wyatt has to defend himself at home from Sugarfoot who is determined to kill him, and although he survives, Wyatt faces the destruction of his successful quiet life among unsuspecting neighbours. He's going to have to find another place to live out of his comfort zone. Might be worth reading one more.

Garry Disher ist mittlerweile bekannt für seine Kriminalromane, die hauptsächlich aus der Sicht der "Guten" spielen. Doch er kann nicht nur Cops, sondern auch Bösewichte, wie er mit "Gier" beweist.
Der Schreibstil ist noch etwas unausgereifter, als in seinen neueren Romanen, was aber nicht schlecht ist. Er kommt sofort zum Punkt und obwohl er seiner Linie treu bleibt und auch den Alltag ein wenig miteinbezieht, geht die Handlung extrem flott voran. Da ist kein Wort zuviel in die Zeilen gepackt.
Die Geschichte wird aus mehreren Perspektiven geschildert, wobei unser eiskalter Gangster Wyatt einen Großteil übernimmt, doch auch der übermütige, nicht gerade als übermäßig intelligent zu bezeichnende Sugarfoot Younger übernimmt einen wichtigen Part, indem er Wyatt und seinen Komplizen aus Rachsucht und Gier in die Parade fährt und somit für Chaos sorgt.
Daneben begleiten wir den südafrikanischen Troubleshooter Bauer bei seiner Arbeit in Melbourne - der Mann ist ein Arschloch vor dem Herrn, doch liefert wichtige Anhaltspunkte.
Die Story hält ein paar überraschende Wendungen bereit, die es spannend machten, aber teilweise plump eingesetzt wurden, indem man den Leser einfach über gewisse Dinge im Dunkeln tappen ließ oder gleich in die Irre führte. Dennoch war die Geschichte spannend und durchaus ein paar gemütliche Lesestunden wert. Gegen Ende hin waren mir dann doch etwas zu viele Schilderungen und im gesamten Roman blieben mir die Gefühle ein wenig auf der Strecke - so ganz kalt mag ich's dann auch nicht. Dennoch ein solider Kriminalroman mit Gangsterfeeling.
Bewertung und mein Fazit
Von mir gibt es 3,5 Sterne für Wyatt und seinen ersten Coup, der nicht ganz so lief, wie er sollte. Kein Buch, das man nicht aus der Hand legen kann, das aber für eine gemütliche Lesestunden sorgt.
Ein unaufgeregter Spannungsroman aus Sicht der Gangster.

I've only dipped my toes into Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake's) "Parker" series of crime novels, but this first entry in Disher's "Wyatt" series sure seems like an Australian homage to that character. Wyatt is a cool and calculating professional thief, with no emotional attachments or ties, and no tolerance for working with fools (Neil, from the film "Heat" is another example of this kind of anti-hero criminal). The story revolves around robbing a safe in a Melbourne lawyer's office, which has been fingered by an inside tip to have a ton of cash from crooked real-estate development backhanders.
However, to get the necessary safe house, guns, and other gear needed to do the job to his professional standard, Wyatt has to pull a smaller job first to bankroll the job. This involves a low-level mob-connected furniture dealer named Ivan, along with his idiot brother Sugarfoot. Sure enough, Sugarfoot's cowboy antics don't go over well with Wyatt, and the two become enemies. The entire story revolves around criminals robbing other criminals, and the tangled chain of consequences that involves -- with nary a policeman in sight until nearly the end of the story.
One aspect that's interesting is that the book was written at the start of the 1990s, just when surveillance cameras, cell phones, and credit cards were becoming more and more ubiquitous -- making Wyatt's traditional techniques and targets more problematic. So in a sense, this is an old-fashioned hard-boiled antihero on the cusp of modernity and obsolescence. Wyatt will likely be too cold and flat a character for many readers, but I quite enjoyed the single-mindedness, along with the Melbourne setting. There are another eight Wyatt books, and I'll definitely seek out the next one.

Garry Disher was recommended to me as a good mystery author whose books are set in Australia. I listened to his first Wyatt novel. Wyatt is a criminal who carries out burglaries to help an owner commit insurance fraud in book one, Kickback. He is versatile, however and we know that he also commits robberies, heists, etc. In the beginning of Kickback, he is taking an erratic, dangerous young man along because the guys older brother wants him to learn about participating in this part of the business. The kid is stuck with collections work and beginning to complaint. At first blush, it looks like Wyatt might be a criminal with a heart. He tells the kid not to frighten the housekeeper and is furious when the kid messes things up. But we soon realize everything is about Wyatt.
Next, he gets involved in planning to take a large sum of money from a safe of a corrupt lawyer whose partner needs some dough. She's orchestrating the situation but Wyatt quickly nixes part of her plan and sets up a robbery that will make her appear uninvolved. There is then a lot of complicated goings on among the thieves. Meanwhile, the kid who messed up the insurance heist is angry Wyatt called him out in front of his brother and he is out for blood. People keep telling Wyatt to kill the kid but he's taking his good old time about it.
In the end, Wyatt has ticked off enough people, been cheated by some and gets involved in a situation that requires him to go on the run. The book is a perfectly well written formulaic piece with a guy who may be a psychopath in the center of the action. Just did not grab me as particularly engaging but I decided to give the second book in the series a listen just in case. As my comments on that show, it was just more of the same.

After reading a later novel in this series earlier in the year I decided to start at the beginning, with Wyatt #1. This was written 30 years ago and it shows in some of its casual racism and attitudes to women (although there is a feisty woman character who offers some surprises). I'm also not enamoured by gun violence and shootouts - but this is a crime novel after all! It's certainly different in that its lead character is the criminal. There is no detection here - just how a criminal goes about his work, what obstacles are placed in his way, how things pan out. Wyatt is serious in every way - serious about being a thief, serious about keeping out of gaol, serious about who he chooses as associates for the jobs he undertakes. I wasn't very keen on the book initially but it kept me reading - if only for the writing. Disher finds the exact words to capture a character, a passer by or just a Melbourne winter evening. That's a real pleasure. The tension in the novel gradually ramped up too and had me very involved by the end. I won't rush to read the next in the series but will return to it at some point. I prefer Disher's more recent work but this was worth a backward glance.

I first read a book by this author many years ago, I think perhaps it was one in the Wyatt series, and I remembered enjoying it. Why I didn't follow up by researching his other books I don't know. But I came across this one when perusing "Libby" for another audio book to listen to while out walking or driving.
Disher's writing style is tight, perfect for this genre. It adds to the suspense. Even though he's a criminal, one can't help liking Wyatt and wanting him to do well in his endeavours. The fact that he mainly steals from crooks may have something to do with that!
Very enjoyable with a good twist and an ending which has you immediately searching the library catalogue looking for the next one. Sadly, I don't think the next one has been re-published yet and as the originals were written some 30 years ago, I'm not likely to get it. I shall keep a look out in the op shops and add Disher's name to my wanted authors list.

The thief Wyatt is very careful about which jobs he does and who he works with. He's very smart but needs to train the others and outsmart the guys who think they know better. He will abort a fowled up job and plans meticulously.
This job is to rob a safe in a lawyers office because there is kickback money there that can't be reported to the police.
He meets the "inside" person and makes the mistake of losing focus. He is double crossed by two of the accomplices when drugs are found and taken without his knowledge.
This bring way too much heat down on him and while he escapes he must relocate for the next episode.
