In this fascinating piece of investigative journalism, written like a thriller, journalist and social activist Anne-Marie Saint-Cerny reveals the inner workings of the 2013 Lac-Mégantic rail disaster that killed forty-seven people, and the individual and corporate authorities responsible for it. She reveals how the tragedy, far from being just the "error of a faulty system," was knowingly caused by powerful people and institutions distant from the town itself.
