Payback by the author Steve Bassett is a story of love, hate and revenge. It is the second book in the Passaic River Trilogy. The story starts from 1946 Newark. Two detectives Lieutenant Nick Cisco and his partner Detective Sergeant Kevin McClosky found out that all the three victims were connected to American-German bund.
