Description
In PAYBACK, award-winning, Amazon #1 best-selling author Joseph Badal weaves a story about a sympathetic protagonist who, when pushed too far, finally pushes back. This is a story about revenge that includes assassins, corrupt Wall Street investment bankers, a Mafia capo, Asian gangs, and heroic cops. And, to top it all off, it is a story about friendship and love.
When Bruno Pedace learns that his investment banking partners are setting him up to take the fall for their own corrupt practices, he does what he has always done—run away. But the documents he takes with him put a target on his back. He changes his name and, for nine years, goes underground, until an assassin tracks him down in California and badly injures him.
Befriended by Janet Jenkins, a courageous woman who works in a battered women’s shelter, Bruno, for the first time in his life, with Janet’s help, fights back. He constructs an ingenious financial scheme to get payback for the crimes perpetrated by his former partners.
Advance Praise
JUSTICE #3
“Badal is a first-rate writer performing at the top of his game. His character development is nuanced. His depictions of government and military operations are credible. His prose is easy to read swiftly without being simplistic. His dialogue has the bite, bark, and banter of real conversation. He creates harrowing scenes that chill, action sequences that leave you breathless, and moments of intimacy that feel honest and true. Echoes of James Patterson, Nelson DeMille, and Tom Clancy waft through his pages as he zigzags his way through potentially complicated situations, yet the loose ends all get snuggly tied. A prolific writer, Badal has fifteen novels to his credit, some stand-alone and some in series. He’s frequently found on multiple bestselling lists and is often the recipient of prestigious writing awards. This novel should only add to his stature.”
—RECOMMENDED by the US Review
OBSESSED #2
“A flat-out fantastic, eighteen-wheeler of a thriller driven by a dynamic plot and barreling through anything in its way. It’s easy to obsess about ‘Obsessed,’ because it follows all the rules of great thriller writing, while making up a few of its own. A must read for all hardcore fans of the genre.”
—Jon Land, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Caitlin Strong Series on “Obsessed”
THE MOTIVE #1
“ ‘The Motive’ is a nail biter I couldn’t put down. Joseph Badal knows how to make his legion of readers sweat to the very last paragraph. He has mastered the art of writing—and suspense. Bravo!”
—Parris Afton Bonds, Award-Winning Author of “Dream Time”
DARK ANGEL
“Relentless from start to finish. Badal just gets better and better.”
—David Morrell, New York Times Bestselling Author of “Murder As a Fine Art” on “Dark Angel”
