Russell Findlay spent decades taking on the most dangerous men in Scotland's criminal underworld. Organised 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.

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....
