Just a brutal read about an horrific mass murder in Nova Scotia, Canada April 2020 by a POS who thought nothing of gunning down those known to him and those not, including a pregnant nurse. Focused mainly on the colossal failure of the RCMP in their response. Still, to this day there are no answers. A seasoned investigative reporter, Palango gave insight into the victims and what happened on those two horrible days. Definitely cleared up a lot of speculation and gave new perspective on certain stories of what happened. I had terrible nightmares just from reading this account - I can't imagine what it was like for those who faced this terrible menace and my heart goes out especially to the children and families. A very sad event in Canadian history that could have, and SHOULD have been dealt with in a much better, more professional way!… (mais)

This is a massive study of the murder of 22 men & women in Nova Scotia, Canada in April, 2020 by investigative journalist, Palango. Known for his critical books on Canada's national police force, this book of almost 600 pages also contains much about the RCMP that may shake your respect and confidence in the Force,

Gabriel Wortman started his massacres by killing men and women on his street he knew. Eventually he killed at random as he drove across the province. The RCMP claimed they did not know who he was and they did not know he was dressed as an RCMP officer driving an authentic looking police cruiser. However, when the author was given the 911 tapes of the frantic calls for help from children and adults who told the 911 operator that it was Wortman who was shooting at them and others, the RCMP were shown to be lying. There versions of events claimed officers risked their lives to save those calling for help while the author learned that one of the first officers on the scene hid in the forest rather try to rescue the trapped children.

By using information from many people, many of whom feared for their lives when they told what they saw and knew, Palango developed his premise that the RCMP investigation of the crime spree tried to cover up their incompetence and corruption to save careers and reputations of the Force, especially its leaders. He even shows possible evidence via leaked video that Wortman was executed at a gas station so he could not tell what his connection to the RCMP was and why he went on the murderous rampage.
