Set in the near-future where people who are behind on student loans risk a beatdown from the Debt Police, The Payback begins with a lazy shift at an LA mall and increasingly amps up the pace. I loved reading from a retail store employee's perspective. An underutilized profession in novels! More "Mall Novels," please, even if only half of this book takes place in one.

And then it all turns into a heist? One of my favorite genres? Yes, of course I loved this book.
