The Last Witness by Denzil Meyrick

James Machie was a man with a genius for violence, his criminal empire spreading from the UK to mainland Europe. Fortunately, Machie is dead, assassinated in the back of a prison ambulance following his trial and conviction. But now, five years later, he is apparently back from the grave, set on avenging himself on those who brought him down . . .
