WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE COULD YOU GET INTO AT A FAMOUS WRITERS CONFERENCE?

Thriller Jubilee is a renowned week-long writers conference held every year at the luxurious Hotel Marisol on the sun-drenched island of Punta Maya. Attracting literary luminaries and reading fans alike, this year's conference is attended by one guest too many, a writer wannabe whose efforts have not received the recognition the author expects--one might say demands.

As conference officials discover participants are quietly disappearing, they wrestle with the question of whether to disclose that a serial killer may be on the loose, fearing that it could trigger a panic and permanently destroy the event--and the host organization.

Payback, third in the popular Brooks/Lotello Thriller series, is a fantasy murder mystery blended with today's real-world obsession with society's moral decay, for example the college admissions scandal and the failure of sports, academic, and church leaders to expel offenders within their ranks preying on those entrusted to such organizations.

About the Author

Ronald S. Barak, bestselling author, Olympic athlete, law school honors graduate, and experienced courtroom lawyer, is uniquely qualified to write his novels that appeal to all political and legal thriller fans.

Described by his readers as a cross between Agatha Christie, Lee Child, and John Lescroart, bestselling author Barak keeps his readers flipping the pages into the wee hours of the night. While he mostly lets his characters tell his stories, he manages to get his licks in too.

Barak derives great satisfaction from knowing that his books not only entertain but also stimulate others to think about how things might be, how people can actually resolve real-world problems. In particular, Barak tackles the country's dysfunctional government representatives-not just back-seat driving criticism for the sake of being a back-seat driver, but truly framing practical remedies to the political abuse and corruption adversely affecting too many people's lives today. Barak's extensive legal background and insight allow him to cleverly pollinate his fiction and today's sad state of political reality.

Barak resides in Pacific Palisades, California, where he is hard at work on his next novel, JK's Code.
Novels in the Brooks/Lotello Thriller Series include The Amendment Killer, The Puppet Master, and Payback. He is listed among the most respected thriller and mystery authors today: https://ronaldsbarak.com/not-exactly-bad-company/.
