3.0

This is story of crooks. None of them are nice and they are all likely to thump you if you look twice at them. Even the cops are not nice, when they make their brief appearance. The main character is Wyatt and he's not a nice person.

Set in the early 90's in Melbourne, before the time of the internet and mobiles. It's an enjoyable read but I have no vested interest in any of them surviving. They are horrible people and why we have a horrible world.
