When Bill Johnstone's business was destroyed as a result of an arson attack in 2009, like any law-abiding citizen he informed the police, telling them of threats he had received from a disgruntled customer to torch the garage Johnstone ran in Glasgow's west end. Johnstone assumed the fire-starter would be caught. But the CID were not interested. In frustration, he complained. But rather than jolting the police into action, they turned on him. A rogue policeman applied a serious criminal record to his name. Those malicious keyboard strokes were the catalyst for a high-stakes battle for the former Army officer to clear his name, which cost his partner her job, driving her to the brink of suicide, and brought financial ruin and the threat of prison. What began as an act of police incompetence escalated into a tangled web of corruption, collusion and cover-up.
