MILLBROOK
The Twelve Years They Knew the Water Was PoisonedBy Mohamed Aslam
Length1h 12m
About this audiobook
In 2003, engineers at a chemical plant in a small Indiana town discovered their own groundwater monitoring wells were leaking a known carcinogen into the water supply. Rather than report it, company leadership ran the numbers — and decided disclosure would cost too much. For the next twelve years, the plant kept operating, the town kept drinking, and a family doctor quietly started keeping her own private count of a cancer cluster no one else was tracking yet.
Millbrook: The Twelve Years They Knew the Water Was Poisoned traces how a suspicious physician, a guilt-ridden engineer who'd kept a box of buried evidence in his garage for over a decade, and a state investigation few expected to succeed finally forced a company town to reckon with what its most trusted employer had known the whole time. A story about what happens when the people responsible for protecting a community are the ones who calculated, on paper, that poisoning it was the cheaper option.
