A nice introduction by Simon Kernick tells us amongst other things that this was a story written for BMW, who wanted four top writers to come up with a story involving one of their new vehicles.  It originally appeared on their website and magazine back in 2005.The narrator, a brothel security man visits Jim "The Crim", who is known for extreme violence which motivates those who owe him money to pay it back. It's not the narrator's debt though, it's his cousin Kevin's who has skipped town and Jim now believes Kevin's mother has inherited the debt.  The narrator is a tough guy himself who doesn't back down either and believes he can work something out on his aunt's behalf with "The Crim".  He's wrong!Although a very short story which you'll get through in less than ten minutes, The Debt is your typical they've messed with the wrong guy read, except this involves a guy who loves his new hard earned BMW.
