Payback
Larnaca, Cyprus.
Tensions have reached boiling point in the normally peaceful coastal city.
The Eurogroup bailout, and subsequent collapse of the Omega Bank, resulted in over half the population waking up to find their entire life savings had disappeared over night – university funds, pension pots, even the charity account of a young girl with a rare genetic disease.
When high-profile city banker, Wolfgang Fleischer, is kidnapped in the dead of night – a severed finger the only evidence found at the scene – conspiracy theories are all anyone can talk about.
The Cypriots, the Russians, the CIA – they all want payback for their stolen millions.
Spurred on by the prospect of a €1 million reward, Johnny Gregoriou starts asking his own questions.
With the help of his childhood friend, Phats, Johnny deepens his investigations but it’s not long before he realises that this is far more than a simple case of kidnap and ransom.
His suspicions are confirmed when he finds himself the recipient of an ancient Cypriot death threat and things go from bad to worse when Johnny’s teenage daughter, Georgia, is taken hostage.
Can Johnny track down the kidnappers and claim the reward?
Or will the very thing he hopes will unite his family, destroy it beyond repair?
‘Payback’ is a fast-paced detective thriller, combining mystery and suspense in a cunning plot that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.
