Reluctant to launch an official investigation based on a relative's vague suspicions, the secretary asks House Speaker, John Mahoney, to send his troubleshooter, DeMarco, to check out the story. As DeMarco and his friend Emma, a retired DIA agent, began to investigate what they thought was a low-stakes government swindle, they come to the terrifying realization that an espionage ring has infiltrated the naval base.\u003cbr\u003eThe leader of the espionage cell is a woman with whom Emma has a history that goes back to the cold war. Their encounter destroyed the woman's once promising career and turned her into a ruthless operative who cares about only one thing: destroying Emma, the person responsible for her shame, dishonor, and shattered life. DeMarco has never been near a spy in his life - at least not that he knew of - and now he's dealing with a foreign agent who is more deadly than anyone he's ever encountered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published January 1, 1994\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Good \/ Paperback \/ Mike Lawson","offer_id":52384158581034,"sku":"9780007197958","price":25.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/files\/4812219.jpg?v=1787761743","url":"https:\/\/evasusedbooks.co\/products\/the-payback-joe-demarco-2","provider":"Eva's Used Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
