Stuart Gair was convicted of stabbing a homosexual man to death in a notorious gay haunt in Glasgow on 11 April 1989. Gair has always proclaimed his innocence and, despite having eight witnesses placing him miles from the murder scene, his appeal is only now being heard. Totally alone with no family or friends to help him expose the miscarriages of justice, Gair languished in solitary confinement for years. When he sustained serious injuries from prison officers, a prison doctor became suspicious and agreed to help him. That doctor was James Macgregor. This book describes how the two men became involved in a struggle to expose corruption in the system. Both were bullied by detectives and intimidated by the authorities. Using documentary evidence from official correspondence from government ministers, it highlights a shocking miscarriage of justice and political cover-up.
