Known for his razor-sharp plotting and unflinching social commentary, Kirst constructs a gripping narrative that uncovers the lengths to which individuals will go when money and secrets collide. The story chronicles a web of corruption and coercion, where the past refuses to stay buried and every debt — financial or otherwise — eventually comes due. Written with the same gritty, suspenseful authority that made Kirst an international bestseller, this novel presents a compelling portrait of greed and consequence in a society still haunted by its history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956438675675,"sku":"2026100006184-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fabb0252-3fbc-4a16-8689-395d3d72b40a.png?v=1783501088","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006184-secondhand-a-time-for-payment","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
