| Zusammenfassung: | In the vein of the astonishing and eye-opening bestsellers Ill Be Gone in the Dark and The Line Becomes a River , this stunning work of investigative journalism follows a series of unsolved disappearances and murders of Indigenous women in rural British Columbia. Along northern Canadas Highway 16, a yellow billboard reads GIRLS, DONT HITCHHIKE. KILLER ON THE LOOSE. The highway is a 450-mile stretch of dirt and asphalt, surrounded by rugged wilderness and snowy mountain peaks. It is known as the Highway of Tears. It is here that countless women and girlsmost of them Indigenoushave vanished since 1969. Highway of Tears explores the true story of what has happened along this troubled road. Journalist Jessica McDiarmid reassembles the lives of the victimswho they were, where they came from, who loved them, and what led them to the highwayand takes us into their families determined fight for the truth. The book also indicts the initial police investigations marred by incompetence and systemic racism, even as it shines a light on a larger phenomenon: the fact that more than a thousand indigenous women have gone missing or been found murdered across Canada, a topic brought to international attention when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opened an official inquiry into the case. Combining hard-hitting reporting with a keen, human eye, Highway of Tears is a penetrating look at decades worth of tragedy and the fight to honor the victims by preserving their stories and providing them the justice they deserve |
