The prison visit goes badly, leaving Clarke wracked with guilt about ruining her ex-colleague’s life. She vows not to visit a second time.
Minutes later, Clarke’s old colleague kills again, and escapes from prison.
Locating the stolen money just got harder, and Clarke finds herself in serious danger when the fugitive becomes obsessed with revenge.

A great end to the Clarke Pettis series
I'm sad to say goodbye to Clarke and Paul, but the book did them justice. I especially love how well Payback flushed out Clarke's life.
