Smith Driskill is a 55-year-old widower from Texas who, with his declining health and a rupture in his relationship with his children, takes up vigilante justice against death row inmates with seemingly little care for the personal consequences. His expertise with a weapon, his skillful evasion of the authorities, and the pushing of political buttons turn him into an unexpected hero. 

In Payback Jack, Mr. Sojka has created a multi-dimensional protagonist who possesses the perfect level of charisma, cunning, and mystery. The same can be said of the novel as a whole. The story flows easily with brilliant dialogue and a captivating plot line. It expertly guides the reader, using multiple points of view from well-drawn characters, through the layers of backstory, police procedures, sub-plots, and suspense. Don’t be fooled by the author’s cool, laid-back style. You’re in for a lot of action, twists and turns, and an explosive surprise.

Sublime Line: “A word of warning when reading Payback Jack: don’t get too comfortable in your chair; you’ll soon get shoved to the edge of your seat.”
