corporate and regulatory failures of which all New Zealanders
should be aware and ashamed." --Fiona Rotherham, Fairfax

River Mine. The investigation makes compelling reading, and
illustrates the power of journalism in book form." --John Drinnan,
New Zealand Herald
"If you've already read accolades for this book, they're all
deserved, and then some. Macfie digs through a mountain of
information to deliver a compelling account of what went wrong at
Pike River." --Jim Eagles and Mark Fryer, Weekend Herald
"Macfie . . . gets to the heart of a complex and detailed story
without losing or confusing her audience . . . Lucid, exhaustive,
enraging." --Guy Somerset, New Zealand Listener

doomed Pike River coal mine to disaster and 29 men to their deaths.
Her spare, forceful narrative will leave readers far wiser and
deeply outraged. . . . Investigative journalism at its very best."

"This is the best sort of journalism - methodical, well researched
and dispassionate. But you can feel its cold anger." --Nicholas
Reid, Reid's Reader
