About the book

"An epileptic black ballerina and a Powwow dancer, whistleblower journalist meet in the Montreal airport. They are both scheduled to perform at an international youth festival in Berlin, 1973, Cold War Berlin. During a long layover in Zurich, he takes the ballerina to a Swiss Bank. Speaking French, the Powwow dancer deposits many thousands of dollars into his numbered account to which he adds her name, providing no true explanation. Is she an accomplice? Or, is it just love in the time of mercury poisoning? Chasing Mercury is a romance-suspense-memoir inspired by the events leading to the World Minamata Convention on Mercury, which entered into force August 16, 2017. Spanning three continents, the story covers decades and the world's waterways. Chasing Mercury is the first of three books in the Chasing Mercury Toxic Trilogy."--Back cover of work
