Temporarily out of stock
More than a decade after the end of Apartheid, ex-gun runners Mace Bishop and Pylon Buso are trying to settle down to a comfortable Cape existence. But when an old contact calls in a favour, they become embroiled once again in the city’s violent underworld – and with Sheemina February, the sinister lawyer to South Africa’s new elite.
A fast-paced tale of narcotics, arms dealing and international intrigue, and with a pair of likeable, tough and fallible characters at its centre, Payback is the first instalment of a major new crime series.
