Payback

With her sharp eye and equally sharp pen, Maria Adolfsson is back with yet another suspense novel

During their teenage years, Mira, Johanna & Agnes formed a friendship that has endured into adulthood. They have seen each other through thick and thin, and formed a collective in Johanna’s mother’s apartment in their early twenties. Life was easy and carefree as long as they had each other.

Until something went terribly wrong. Something that alte red everything and resulted in the loss of the fourth member of their gang, Kajsa. Now, in 2014, six years have gone by, and life has come to a standstill for all three of them. Burde ned by guilt and longing for a chance to move on, they make a drastic decision. It is time to seek revenge.

The question is whether they are truly prepared to do what it takes — and whether it will be enough to bring them all back together. Will they be able to get away with it? And is it ever justified to take matters into your own hands?

A gripping suspense novel with momentum, written in the same spirit as the ‘Doggerland’ series and Truth or Dare. Maria Adolfsson’s books have sold over 1 million copies across the world. Truth or Dare was her first standalone since the ‘Doggerland’ series and has sold 50,000 copies in Sweden.

Payback is a strong telling of friendship, violence, vulne rability and guilt. Maria Adolfsson proves herself once again to be one of Sweden’s foremost suspense writers.
