  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.

  Praise 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

  On the night of her high school graduation, a young woman follows her older sister Debbie to Salvation, a Los Angeles bar patronized by energy healers, aspiring actors, and all-around misfits. After the two share a bag of unidentified pills, the evening turns into a haze of sensual and risky interactions—nothing unusual for two sisters bound in an incredibly toxic relationship. Our unnamed narrator has always been under the spell of the alluring and rebellious Debbie and, despite her own hesitations, she has always said yes to nights like these. That is, until Debbie disappears. 
   
   
   
  Falling deeper into the life she cultivated with her sister, our narrator gets a job as an emergency room secretary where she steals pills to sell on the side. Cue Sasha, a Jewish refugee from the former Soviet Union who arrives at the hospital claiming to be a psychic tasked with acting as the narrator's spiritual guide. The nature of this relationship evolves and blurs, a kaleidoscope of friendship, sex, mysticism, and ambiguous power dynamics. 
   
   
   
  With prose pulsing like a neon sign, All-Night Pharmacy is an intoxicating portrait of a young woman consumed with unease over how a person should be. As she attempts sobriety and sexual embodiment, she must decide whether to search for her estranged sister, or allow her to remain a relic of the past.

  The Minions of Midas by Jack London - What happens when a secret society demands your fortune—or sacrifices innocent lives instead? An electrifying tale of power, greed, and morality. 
  Jack London was an interesting man. He ran for Mayor of Oakland, California twice in 1901 and 1905 as the Socialist candidate and lost both both times garnering less than a thousand votes in those elections.  
  Did you know that The Minions of Midas was turned into a Netflix series in 2020? The show is set in Madrid, Spain, and while it’s originally in Spanish, it’s also available in English. A story Jack London wrote back in 1901—that was mostly overlooked for nearly 120 years—is now a full-blown miniseries!
