Review

'A story of unrelenting, seedy brutality' --The Herald

Product Description

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.

Format:Paperback
Apologist guff about faded criminals by sycophantic cheerleaders this is not. It may be about a Scottish criminal but it has a pan-Europe appeal that spells out in sharp detail how organised crime really works in the 21st century. Stevenson and his ilk are a worrying phenomenon. Theirs is a vast and global businesses that reach into ALL our lives. While reading the Iceman, sometimes you will laugh, other times you will feel sick to the pit of your stomach. At last - a crime book that does not celebrate the criminal.
