About this listen

Wyatt steals $ 50,000 and a sought-after piece of jewelry in a burglary of a politician's house. 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 towards 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, author of Lambs of God

"Tough, violent, relentless and thoroughly convincing." STUART COUPE, author of The Roadies

"To Disher's usual brisk pacing, add heaps of noir...a banquet for those who like it uncut and unsparing." KIRKUS REVIEWS

Excellent narration in well-paced crime novel

Another in the series following the career criminal Wyatt. The novel is told from Wyatt’s point of view and there is move and counter-move involving not just the criminals but also crooked cops and a corrupt judge.
The narration is excellent and the plain writing style suits the genre very well.

Best One yet

This is my personal favourite of the Wyatt series. Garry Disher writes a VERY good book and Dorje Swallow is the perfect narrator for it. These two are a perfect pairing. Like a good cheese and wine.
