GREG MERCER is an investigative reporter for The Globe and Mail, Canada's oldest national newspaper, where he writes in-depth stories about issues affecting the country, from the drone-spying scandal at the Paris Olympics to the deadly legacy of the coal mining industry. He was previously the Globe's Atlantic Canada reporter, where he covered the worst mass shooting in Canadian history, and wrote about violent protests over a growing First Nations-run commercial lobster fishery. He's also reported for the BBC, the Guardian and the Toronto Star, Canada's largest newspaper. His reporting has earned him multiple National Newspaper Awards and the Michener Deacon Fellowship for investigative journalism. This is his first book.
