Book description
A story of unrelenting, seedy brutality' - The Herald The elite
police officers secretly launching Scotland's biggest ever offensive
against organised crime had only one target. His name was Jamie
Stevenson, but he was known as The Iceman, the biggest drugs
trafficker the country has ever seen. Suspected of a string of murders
- including the gangland assassination of his best friend -
Stevenson's decade-long rise was built on ruthless ambition, strategic
cunning and calculated, brutal violence. It left him at the head of
one of Europe's biggest smuggling operations pouring tons of drugs and
guns onto the streets of Scotland. "The Iceman" tells the
astonishing story of Stevenson's rise and fall, offering a unique and
explosive insight into Operation Folklore, the unprecedented four-year
investigation that ended in his arrest. It lays bare the blood-soaked
business of Scotland's most powerful crime lord and, for the first
time, exposes how he made - and laundered - his dirty millions.
Jim Wilson and Russell Findlay have many years experience
reporting crime in Scotland. They work for the Sunday Mail.
