More About the Book

"Welcome to the true crime book about a waterfall. In this book, author Christen E. Civiletto takes us to Niagara Falls, but rather than focusing on the natural beauty, she dives deep into the millions of tons of toxic and radioactive waste that’s been dumped, incinerated, and vented into the area over decades. The birthplace of the commercial electro-chemical industry by virtue of sheer, hydrodynamic power, the falls and the surrounding area have paid a steep price, and it behooves us all to consider that price, and just who will end up paying it."---Liz Greene, Nautilus
