Im Zeitalter des Internets und der elektronischen Überwachungsanlagen ist Wyatt kaum noch konkurrenzfähig. Er muss die Ansprüche zurückschrauben und sich mit Klein-Klein begnügen. Ein Juwelenjob erscheint da ganz nach seinem Geschmack - nichts Extravagantes, nichts Undurchschaubares, bis auf die Tatsache, dass es Eddie Oberins Job ist und nicht nur Oberin darauf besteht, bei dem Überfall mitzumischen, sondern auch seine Exfrau Lydia Stark, von der das Insiderwissen stammt. Wyatt arbeitet lieber allein, gibt aber grünes Licht, denn sein Plan ist wie immer akribisch vorbereitet.

Wyatt sondiert mal wieder die Möglichkeiten. Eine Bank wäre toll oder ein Geldtransporter. Doch soll er sich deswegen mit dreisten, jungen Idioten und Meth-Köpfen einlassen? So groß ist seine Verzweiflung dann doch nicht, zumal ihm ein Broker in Queensland einen One-Man-Job anbietet.

Wyatt sondiert mal wieder die Möglichkeiten. Eine Bank wäre toll oder ein Geldtransporter. Doch soll er sich deswegen mit dreisten, jungen Idioten und Meth-Köpfen einlassen? So groß ist seine Verzweiflung dann doch nicht, zumal ihm ein Broker in Queensland einen One-Man-Job anbietet. Ein flämisches Gemälde aus dem 16. Jahrhundert - von den Nazis während des Zweiten Weltkriegs erbeutet - sei im Erholungsort Noosa, in der sengenden Hitze der Sunshine Coast im Haus eines Pädophilen aufgetaucht und eine israelische Auftraggeberin biete viel Geld dafür.

Nach kurzer Liaison mit der Polizistin Liz Redding will Wyatt schnellstens untertauchen. Doch er trifft seinen Neffen Raymond wieder, der ihm den Raub einer Kunstsammlung schmackhaft machen kann. Doch Wyatt ahnt nicht, dass sein Neffe auch andere Deals am Laufen hat.

Wyatt erbeutet bei einem Einbruch in dem Haus einer Politikerin $ 50 000 und ein gesuchtes Schmuckstück - und hat bald nicht nur die Polizei, sondern auch dubiose Typen am Hals. Doch in diesem Spiel bestimmt Wyatt die Regeln, und Angriff ist die beste Verteidigung. Fernab der Heimat, auf einem Anwesen an den Klippen des tropischen Südseehafens Port Vila, macht er den Drahtzieher ausfindig.

Wyatt needs a job. A bank job would be nice, or a security van hold-up. As long as he doesn’t have to work with cocky idiots and strung-out meth-heads like the Pepper brothers. That’s the sort of miscalculation that buys you the wrong kind of time. So he contacts a man who in the past put...
