Description: Shortly after midnight on March 22, 2006, passengers aboard the Canadian ferry Queen of the North were flung from their beds as the vessel crashed into a rocky island. Evcacuated into life rafts, many were rescued by heroic Gitg'at First Nations people in fishing boats. Two passengers where never found. The Queen's navigation officer was convicted of criminal negligence. But for the author, questions still remain. In this book he dares to ask, "What really happened aboard the Queen that fateful night?"
