Will be intgerested in your review/comments. Garry D is right at the top of my favourite Aussie crime writers. especially when Wyatt is the main character. Good to know the series continues. Must get a copy.

Well done - I have mine on reserve at the library - and I am first on the list! Their ordered books usually take a couple of weeks after release to come in - but I can be patient - cos I'm FIRST!!!!!
