  Where can you hide when the Earth wants you dead? In the near future crime, drugs and pollution make the cities uninhabitable. Gangs roam the streets ravaging at will, the police have all but surrendered, and the air and water are slowly killing the population. One small group determines to survive. Packing only what they can carry, they head north toward what they hope will be an unspoiled wilderness paradise intent on making a new start, and building new lives. But nature isn't that forgiving. For years mankind has been destroying the landscape and slaughtering the animals. Now strange mutants inhabit the dark forests and depths of mountain lakes. The earth itself seems to be seeking vengeance by ridding itself of its tormentors. A new day is coming, but will anyone survive "the dawning?"

  Australian jewel thief Wyatt has a bounty of stolen jewels and a yacht, but nothing can stop him from returning to his life of crime. He drugs his lover, police officer Liz Redding, and escapes into the night only to discover the gems he lifted are fakes. With his luck and his resources rapidly running out, Wyatt begrudgingly joins forces with Raymond, his estranged nephew and an established criminal himself, to lift some expensive artwork.It should be an easy job — the gallery is under construction and Wyatt has performed similar heists before. But it isn't long before things go south, leaving Wyatt with some tough choices. Will the young and eager Raymond prove to be a worthy pupil or is he nothing but deadweight? For Wyatt, putting faith in other people has never been as tempting... or as dangerous.“Disher continues to show an impressive knack for planning capers that go like clockwork..” Kirkus ReviewsPraise for the Wyatt series“Like an Australian Bob le Flambeur, Disher's titular robber is smooth, calm and planning a big heist.” Entertainment Weekly"There's real technique on show here.... it's so fast and hard-written that it becomes a blur, a flurry of activity that dazzles the senses.... Wyatt is a thrill-laden pleasure." ABC Radio"Outstanding.... The spare, economical prose perfectly suits this tale of mad love and crimes gone wrong, which will remind many of Westlake's better Parker novels." Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"Endlessly cool, enormously competent.... a banquet for those who like it uncut and unsparing." Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review"Brilliant.... The similarities with another fictional thief--Richard Stark's antihero Parker--are many." Seattle Times"Disher takes us back to the golden age of thrillers, a time when they were fast, taut and dependably suspenseful." Kirkus Reviews

  Carnival - A Novel

  The Commonwealth Prize-winning author of Divina Trace “has boldly recast Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises as a harrowing tale” set in the West Indies (Booklist, starred review).   Robert Antoni has established himself as one of the most innovative voices to emerge from the Caribbean and the Americas. His novel Carnival—”easily his most engrossing, direct work to date”—takes readers on a journey from contemporary New York City to the glitter of Trinidadian Carnival, and deep into the island’s mountainous interior (Miami Herald).   Aspiring novelist William Fletcher has come to New York to escape his affluent West Indian roots, but a chance meeting reunites him with two of his childhood companions: Laurence, who escaped poverty to become a scholar and poet, and Rachel, William’s second cousin and first love. Making good on a liquor-soaked pledge to return to Trinidad for Carnival, they soon find themselves sliding into a fog of ganja, alcohol, and sensual rhythm. But their hedonistic homecoming has also brought them face to face with the demons of history, prejudice, and violence they’ve spent their lives trying to forget.   “Carnival is an appropriately heady and wild novel, in which the air is suffused with dope smoke, calypso drumming and menace” (Independent on Sunday).
