The New Book
“I remember when I first had the urge to kill someone. Not just anyone, mind you. After all, I’m not capricious. Or uncouth. I’m just… me.”
Thriller Jubilee is a renowned week-long writers’ conference held every year at the luxurious Hotel Marisol on the sun-drenched island of Punta Maya. Attracting literary luminaries and reading fans alike, this year’s conference is attended by one guest too many, a writer wannabe whose efforts have not received the recognition the author expects—one might say demands.
As conference officials discover participants are quietly disappearing, they wrestle with the question of whether to disclose that a serial killer may be on the loose, fearing that it could trigger a panic and permanently destroy the event—and the host organization.
Payback, third in the popular Brooks/Lotello thriller series, is a fantasy murder mystery blended with today’s real-world obsession with society’s moral decay, for example, the college admissions scandal and the failure of sports, academic, and church leaders to expel offenders within their ranks preying on those entrusted to such organizations.
Available now in hardcover, paperback, eBook and audiobook!

About the Author
Listed among the most respected thriller and mystery authors today and described by his readers as a cross between Agatha Christie, Lee Child, and John Lescroart, bestselling author Ronald Barak keeps his readers flipping the pages into the wee hours of the night as they follow the gripping adventures of savvy U.S. District Court Judge Cyrus Brooks and crafty veteran D.C. homicide detective Frank Lotello.
Ron derives great satisfaction in knowing that his books not only entertain but also stimulate others to think about how things might be, how people can actually resolve real-world problems. In particular, Barak tackles the country’s dysfunctional government representatives—not just back-seat driving criticism for the sake of being a back-seat driver, but truly framing practical remedies to the political abuse and corruption adversely affecting too many people’s lives today. Barak’s extensive legal background and insight allow him to cleverly cross-pollenate his fiction and today’s sad state of political reality.
Bestselling novels in the Brooks/Lotello Thriller Series include The Amendment Killer, The Puppet Master, and Payback.
Ron and his wife, Barbie, and the four-legged members of their family reside in Pacific Palisades, California.
