Though Palango unearthed a treasure trove of evidence pointing to the possibility that Wortman or someone close to him was acting as a police agent, the MCC evaded all the big questions and let the RCMP off with a slap on the wrist. To this day, no one has been held accountable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this new book, Palango continues to crack the case, delving deeper into story, the evidence and witnesses whose testimonies have been ignored. Drawing on his vast experience as an investigative reporter who has found himself at the centre of many high-profile controversies over decades, he has mined the thousands of pages of Commission documents to reveal the wall of secrecy and deceptions constructed by the RCMP and the criminal justice system, exposing new facts that may alter the public’s perception of what really happened.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA tour-de-force of reportage, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnatomy of a Cover-Up\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eaccomplishes what the Commission set out to do—uncover the truth about the Nova Scotia massacres and bring long overdue justice to its victims.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49856511607070,"sku":"9781039010123","price":27.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/3584\/9246\/files\/9781039010123.jpg?v=1749430651","url":"https:\/\/www.cedarcanoebooks.com\/products\/anatomy-of-a-cover-up","provider":"Cedar Canoe Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
