Review
'Compelling'
(Glasgow Herald )'Leather can dispense high-adrenaline plotting but never at the expense of remembering that his characters are humans rather than Action Man dolls'
(Sunday Express )'Reading Stephen Leather at leisure is always a pleasure.' (Ireland on Sunday )
'Stephen Leather should be nestling in your bookshelves alongside Frederick Forsyth and Jack Higgins'
(Daily Mail )'This is an aggressively topical novel but a genuinely thrilling one, too.'
(Daily Telegraph on COLD KILL )'Leather is an intelligent thriller writer' (Daily Mail )
'A grand finale that'll have readers on edge'
(Literary Review on COLD KILL )'As tough as British thrillers get . . . gripping' (Irish Independent on HARD LANDING )
'A riveting read' (Sunday Life, Belfast on SOFT TARGET )
'As high-tech and as world-class as the thriller genre gets' (Express on Sunday on THE BOMBMAKER )
'There's a new breed of British crime writer giving the genre a much-needed shake-up - and Stephen Leather is at the forefront . . . the sheer impetus of his storytelling is damned hard to resist.'
(Daily Express on COLD KILL )Product Description
Why does a wealthy Scottish financier set up a drugs deal with the IRA? Jeopardise his career, endanger his family and lover by tangling with the East End underworld and a ruthless mercenary? The motive is simple: revenge for a cold-blooded act of murder.
His adversary is a dangerous gangland boss whose connections stretch from the Highlands to London and beyond. More than a match for a newcomer, especially when his plans contain a fatal flaw which will be discovered only when it is much too late . . .

I Like Leather,
By stewmarsden@hotmail.com (Gateshead, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pay Off (Stephen Leather Thrillers) (Paperback)
Because I didn't think any of Mr Leather's books would be as good as The Chinaman I was quite prepared to be a little let down with this one. I pleasantly found this not to be the case at all. As a revenge plot goes this is one of the best and most imaginative I have read.It involves many diverse characters, the IRA,London gangsters and beautiful women. Somehow they all come together in a manner that works very well and is very entertaining. An excellent holiday book for when you don't want to have to work too hard to keep up but at the same time require a little stimulus. Well worth the money.

An Excellent Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pay Off (Stephen Leather Thrillers) (Paperback)
Having not heard of Mr Leather I didn't know what to expect. After I had read the first chapter i couldn't put the book down and read it in two days. The plot and characters are outstanding. A very enjoyable read and I look forward to reading his other works.

A Highly Readable Tale Of Revenge,
By
This review is from: Pay Off (Stephen Leather Thrillers) (Paperback)
I am completely new to Stephen Leather and I read this novel in one sitting. It's a fairly easy 240 page read and once you get past the first few pages it has you hooked. It's a tale of revenge set in London and across Scotland. The book is split into two parts - the first being the setting up of the plot for revenge and the second being the aftermath one the plot had been executed. With strong characters and a gripping storyline I'll be looking out for more of his novels.
8/10.
