About this ebook
Russell Findlay spent decades taking on the most dangerous men in Scotland's criminal un-derworld. Organized crime clans such as the Daniels, Lyons and McGoverns were unmasked by Findlay and his colleagues at the Sunday Mail and Scottish Sun. Also targeted were figures such as Paul Ferris, Frankie Donuts' Donaldson, Barry Hughes, James Jasper' McCann and Kevin Gerbil' Carroll. Two days before Christmas 2015, Findlay became the target of an unprecedented attack. Disguised as a postman, William Basil' Burns came to the journalist's home and hurled sulphuric acid in his face. But Burns then lost control of his knife and was overpowered by Findlay who handed him over to the police. Taking the botched hit as his starting point, Findlay unravels the identity of those suspected of hiring Burns, at the same time giving a unique insight into the criminal landscape of modern Scotland and explaining how journalists risk their safety to expose dangerous and depraved crime bosses. In some cases it is not just criminals they are up against police, lawyers and even others within the media can conspire to make their work even more dangerous.
