In this vivid, full-colour work of graphic nonfiction, Anne-Marie Saint-Cerny and Christian Quesnel capture one of the deadliest rail disasters in Canadian history, when, in 2013, a runaway train loaded with explosive oil derailed in the small town of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. With no national public inquiry launched or meaningful criminal charges laid, the victims of Lac-Mégantic must not become mere statistics. Now the full story of that infamous night and its aftermath live on.
