Is this a scintillating one-off? Or will it be the start of a must-buy new series? We know superfans throughout the world will be thrilled to find out.

Gangland boss Zander Finn is so sickened by the brutal murder of his son in a Paisley pub that he decides to change his life. Following the advice of his priest and mentor, he moves clandestinely to London and becomes an ambulance driver. But when his old second-in-command Malky Maloney tracks him down on a London street, Finn knows he must return. Both his real family and his crime family face an existential threat from Albanian mobsters determined to take control of the Scottish underworld.

Facing the forces of law and order under Detective Chief Inspector Amelia Langley and a mysterious Italian woman, Finn struggles for survival in a rollercoaster ride of brutality, tenderness, misplaced loyalties and the utterly unexpected. The path to redemption is a bumpy one, and it begins to look like Finn should have stayed in London.

Meyrick says:

I’m absolutely thrilled to bring readers something new. I’m a huge fan of the Sopranos TV show. The mix of visceral crime, family life and bags of humour, I think, more accurately represents real life than unremittingly dark noir. Thinking about that model, I’ve used my own approach in TERMS OF RESTITUTION. Nobody lives a single-themed life, and I believe it’s really important, if any authenticity is to be had, that characters inhabit as real and relatable world as possible.

In TERMS OF RESTITUTION, we see the stresses and strains of life on Zander Finn, as he struggles to come to terms with the pressure of his two families, the one blood relatives, the other his business. I’m also excited to unveil a new cast of characters, full of strong women like DCI Amelia Langley, and Maggie Finn, the formidable matriarch of both Zander’s families. All told, I’m more than excited to let you spend time with the Finns in TERMS OF RESTITUTION.
