Russell Findlay is a freelance writer who was formerly crime correspondent for the Sunday Mail and Scottish Sun. He is the author of Acid Attack and Fitted Up.
The investigative journalist and author of Acid Attack reveals the true story of one innocent man’s battle to salvage his reputation and his life. As army veteran Bill Johnstone watched his garage business burn to the ground, he was certain the fire had been started deliberately. And when the police failed to investigate, he complained. Johnstone then made a shocking discovery: an extensive criminal record had been applied to his name. He believes this was no accident but a malicious act by a police officer. Those few keyboard strokes were the catalyst for a high-stakes battle that consumed his life. What began as police incompetence, soon escalated into an extraordinary saga of betrayal, conspiracy and cover up. This is the incredible true story of his decade-long fight for justice. In an age where our personal information is stored and shared digitally, it could happen to anyone.Praise for Russell Findlay’s Acid Attack “Cast[s] light on the reality of Glasgow’s vicious gang culture and the dangers for those brave enough to report on it.” —The Guardian “A good gritty read . . . expect your heart to race.” —Gina McKie, DJ and radio legend “Puts his head where most reporters wouldn’t put their feet.” —Mark Daly, BBC Scotland investigations correspondent “I’ve read it twice, it’s an utterly fascinating book.” —Tam Cowan, BBC Radio Scotland “Real journalism is still practiced by brave individuals. I use that word deliberately, because it takes courage to expose the dangerous, violent and depraved. Russell Findlay displays that courage.” —Joan McAlpine, MSP, Daily Record
