Unfinished Business

by Paul Ferris, Stuart Wheatman, Steve Wraith

Unfinished Business was an idea conceived between Paul Ferris and writing partner Reg McKay. When Reg passed away in 2009, Paul got on with his life. A film, The Wee Man, was based on one of his books and released in 2013. Three years later, a new alliance was formed between Ferris and true crime writers, Stuart Wheatman and Steve Wraith and the idea was reimagined. Paul wanted to pay tribute to Reg while revisiting the notion that he still had things he wanted to say. The book evolved. In his most revealing book to date, Ferris finishes the journey he and Reg embarked upon. With his life of crime now behind him, he revisits key moments in his criminal career and replays them through philosophical eyes. He calls time on the gangster image, dispelling the myths surrounding organised crime in his city, and lifts the lid on his affiliation with Arthur Thompson – the so-called Godfather of Glasgow. Paul strips away what we think we know, unveiling truths, exposing lies and reaffirming the police corruption that still exists today. Will he ever escape the big shadow he cast as the wee man? Is business ever truly finished?

Fantastic Read!

I find it hard to complete a book, however, I could not put this book down. Paul Ferris has had a very busy life to date. If you have ever had doubt about this guy or found him a heartless human being, I'm sure you will have a different opinion of him and what he has went through once you finish the book. I have read all his books and I think they are all worth a read. Hats off to Paul for his compliments to Reg McKay, amazing writer. A very easy 5 stars. Can't wait for the next book!!

Really enjoyed reading this book. It was fantastically interesting to read. That this type of lifestyle actually exists. I know you read it in the papers but it’s more poignant from the horses mouth. Take my hat off to him it’s not a lifestyle I’d wish to have. The fear of always looking over your shoulder and wondering is today the day I meet my maker. Highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in gangland wars esp in the Glasgow area 12 miles from where I live

Great read

A very well written book and very engrossing I found it hard to put down once I started to read it, fascinating the stuff you find out about the city you live in and the people who are supposed to protect you I have read a lot of this over the years and seen the film now I've read the book.
I now intend getting the next book

Underwhelmed.

In summary a rehash of old tales. It smacked of an author with scant left to say or possibly even fatigued by it all.
