Wet Graves is 1990 Australian crime novel by Peter Corris.

Synopsis The body of a murdered elderly man under the Sydney Harbour Bridge leads Hardy to a mystery that will take him back to the bridge's construction, 50 years back.
Critical reception
Stephen Knight, writing in The Sydney Morning Herald considered the novel "in the best tradition of hard pulp". He continued "Skilful, serious, entertaining in a thoughtful and humane way, Wet Graves is both dry and lively. It suggests a writer settled again, in both theme and style, for a long haul with those fables of vice and virtue in contemporary Australia."
Publication history
After the novel's initial publication in 1991 it was reprinted by Allen and Unwin in 2014.
