The Payback series follows women entangled in the street life, where every action has a price and revenge is never far behind. Clark builds the drama across four books, escalating the stakes with each installment as alliances shift and old debts come due.
The series is street literature at its most intense, with Clark’s direct prose style and ear for authentic dialogue driving the action. Fans of the Thug series will find the same unflinching look at loyalty and betrayal in a different set of characters.
