Terms of Restitution

Terms of Restitution by Denzil Meyrick is a gripping gangland thriller set primarily in Paisley and Glasgow. The story centres around crime boss, Zander Finn. 

After his son was murdered, Zander retreats to London where he establishes a new life for two years before a former colleague convinces him to return to Paisley. Once back home the gangland killings drastically increase with no-one entirely sure who is responsible. Determined to protect his family Zander becomes once again  involved in the growing crime wars in the area but who can he trust as a number of his former gang members have changed sides.

There is plenty of action, double dealing, intrigue and murder as members of local gangs attempt to get revenge and supremacy in their area. The growing body count is interwoven with descriptions of the local area and occasional humour. However the book is not just a tale of blood and guts but presents the reader with a number of well drawn sensitive characters. Throughout the novel we learn more about Zander Finn as a person and also of the strong women in his life including his mother Maggie. The novel also follows the investigations of DCI Amelia Langley as she endeavours to end the growing crime surge.

This excellent stand alone novel by Denzil Meyrick who is well known for his DCI Daley series of books.
