The Cynanide Canary (This non-fiction book is based  on a true incident in Idaho.  Here is a quote from Booklist “At the core of this enthralling legal drama is a 250-gallon storage tank containing cyanide. On August 26, 1996, a 20-year-old worker at a fertilizer plant in Soda Springs, Idaho, was ordered to clean the tank, which he and other workers believed contained only dirt and water. The worker, who was told he needed no safety equipment for the job, was overcome by fumes and emerged severely brain damaged. Hilldorfer, an environmental-crime specialist for the EPA, and writer Dugoni retrace the EPA’s effort to uncover what led to the accident and to bring the responsible parties to justice. Before Hilldorfer’s campaign, environmental crimes were largely ignored or, when brought to trial, resulted only in pro-forma wrist slaps. This account engages the reader, evoking both outrage over worker safety and suspense over the outcome of the trial.”)
