Summary
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 Paul 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?

Put to bed
Few things out to bed in this book. Took a bit to get into after reading his other 3. There was a lot repeated at the start but it gets there in the end. Really enjoyed it.

Sincerity and Serendipity
Sincere and humbling words from Paul, a man who appears to have seen Hell and lives to tell the story

Is business finished
First book I read was Paul’s first book which in my opinion is by far the best however this book is different it’s more of a factual book given the powder to the smoking gun. Some of the content has already been covered however it has to be recovered for potential of first time readers. His tribute to Reg was fitting and it comes across that Paul held this guy in high regard. Decent read

couldn't stop...
I wanna know what happened next all the time, I don't have much time to read so I put in my headphones and really take it in. I've hearing about how Paul has turned his life around but I'm also ragin for the injustice he encountered yet overcame.
I hope these come as films ir documentaries soon!

decent story
decent story on his life but the real issue was the narration, especially the way he pronounces things like 'man' the way that is said compared to the way it's narrated like a seventies hippy grinded on me, and the quips don't suit with this accent there's no real venom in the voice but that's how a boy from blackhill talks so the story loses a little
