Payback

Alan Dunn. Minotaur Books, $24.95 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-312-31099-8

In British author Alan Dunn's (Die Cast) suspenseful U.S. debut, Payback, single dad and former cop Billy Oliphant and his teenaged daughter, Kirsty, are looking forward to a winter weekend at Forestcrag Village in the north of England. But a heavy snowfall that isolates Forestcrag, the discovery of the hanged body of the resort's payroll manager and reports of an escaped prisoner (whom Billy helped put behind bars) in the area, all make for a less than carefree holiday.
