Review
'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 ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.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 . . .

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.

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.

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.

a fun little tale
this was the first book Stephen Leather wrote (way back in 1987!). Since then, he has grown to become, in my view, one of the best thriller writers currently writing. Read more

Solid first novel
I have read about 10 ten of Leather's novels before back-tracking to this. It is a good first piece and reminds me immensely of Archer's first in 'Not a penny more.. Read more

Don't try this at home
The lesson of Stephen Leather's PAY OFF is that revenge, rather than being a dish best eaten cold, is perhaps best not consumed at all. Read more
