Payback is a game, a deadly game. One in which Ginny Arthur, owner and operator of a security agency, becomes an unwilling participant. Pitted against thieves, drug pushers, and murderers, it is a game Ginny has to win.

"Barbara Kiger has created a character in Ginny Arthur who should not be allowed to expire, in the literary sense. She is such a winning heroine, a little stumbling at times, strong when it counts and just a little bit mysterious. I'd like to say that I saw the end coming, but I didn't, and that sleight of hand just made the novel all the more enjoyable. I hope there are more Ginny Arthur tales to come."--Mary Ann Lindley, Editorial Page Editor, "Tallahassee Democrat"

"In her first novel, Barbara Kiger introduces readers to a spunky and likeable narrator, and delivers a taut, well-paced mystery that will keep you guessing till the end."--Terry Lewis, Author, "Conflict of Interest" and "Privileged Information"		  

Called "Barb" as often as Barbara, Mrs. Kiger was born in Michigan but moved south with her husband and most of their six children in 1979. A nurse by  profession, she began writing seriously after losing her sight in 1985.

Her work has appeared in magazines and anthologies, the most recent being William B. Toulouse's "Amazingly Simple Lessons Learned After Fifty".  "Beginnings", a short story, received Honorable Mention in the Tallahassee Writers' Association 2002 Seven Hills Contest, and appeared in that year's Fiction Review. "Payback" is her first published novel.
