Aye Write! Russell Findlay - Acid Attack

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 and figures such as Paul Ferris and Kevin ‘Gerbil’ Carroll were unmasked by Findlay and his colleagues at the Sunday Mail and Scottish Sun. Two days before Christmas 2015, Findlay became the target of an unprecedented attack when William ‘Basil’ Burns came to the journalist’s home and hurled sulphuric acid in his face. Taking this 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.
