Narrator Jeremy Bobb turns this nonfiction audiobook into a page- turning drama. Chemical giant DuPont did not want C8, a major ingredient in the making of Teflon, to be labeled hazardous waste. The author, an attorney, spent 20 years litigating to prevent this toxic substance from being discharged into the waters of West Virginia. Listeners will be incredulous at the audacity, cunning, and deception DuPont used to prevent the EPA from getting in its way. Bobb builds this story at an unhurried pace that slowly develops to a climax. Listeners will be breathless with anger at a shabby power play that ultimately cost DuPont dearly. Bobb's is a powerful performance showing how greed and complacency nearly destroyed a state and its citizens. E.E.S. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
