From the Irish mob to the Mafia to the FBI to the neighborhood streets, the two siblings struggle to find a haven for themselves in a growing wave of violence that targets anyone in its path. The story line is superb and the Adare brothers interesting. However, it is the psychological in sight into the myriad of secondary characters that turns Thomas Kelly's novel into a superb Payback for anyone who reads it.
