Garry Disher is a favourite Aussie author whose offbeat Wyatt series features the crook. In Deathdeal, while avoiding his main enemies in Melbourne and Sydney, Wyatt is summoned to Queensland to pull off a job. I reckon you could read these out of order.

Matt Brolly's sixth addition to his DI Louise Blackwell series is another intriguing fast paced mystery.

Sci-fi, mystery. Void by Veronica Roth is an entertaining short story about the murder of a tourist in space. 
My review of Void
I finished listening to Blowing the Bloody Doors Off: And Other Lessons in Life by Michael Caine - 3.5*.It was easy and enjoyable to listen to Caine read this memoir. Lots of insights and examples of what he learned to be successful.

Killer Traitor Spy
is a very current Aussie thriller in former journalist Tim Ayliffe's Greater Good series. It's not just Reds under the bed anymore! It's a big world and it's full of spiesI love the series, but this would be just as good as a standalone.
