How much would you risk to help out a good friend?
John Hayes has settled into a new comfortable life in Lisbon. All his enemies are dead, he is wealthy beyond his dreams, and he shares his days with a beautiful woman he loves with all his heart.
Life is perfect… or is it? Sometimes too much of a good thing can be…. boring.
So when an old friend calls on John Hayes asking for help, John jumps at the chance. Debts must be paid back even if it means putting your own life in danger.
Payback, the sixth installment of the John Hayes Thriller series takes you from the serene cobblestoned streets of Portugal to the battered bombed-out ruins of Syria, where John faces his most challenging task yet.
Will risking all that he holds dear, including his own life, be too high a price to help a friend in need?
Will John Hayes survive?

About the author
Mark David Abbott
I've been a reader since childhood—sneaking books into class, reading by torchlight, always chasing adventure. In middle age, stuck in a Hong Kong office, I questioned the monotony of emails and sales calls. On a whim, I wrote a book—fast-paced, action-packed—creating John Hayes. Holding that finished book was life-changing. I soon left the corporate world. Born in Cyprus, raised in New Zealand, I've lived abroad most of my life, drawing inspiration from my travels. My characters fight injustice in stunning locales. View all by Mark David Abbott
