A wartime explosion in Halifax harbour has wrecked the city killing 2,000, injuring 9,000 and destroying 1,600 houses. Toronto Advocate cub reporter Kate Dawson is sent to Halifax to cover the explosion's aftermath and in the process prove herself equal to any male journalist. After reporting the devastation, interviewing key figures and covering the official inquiry into the disaster, she learns the authorities intend to place responsibility for the disaster on three innocent men. Kate faces a dilemma. Should she reveal the authorities' attempt at scapegoating the men, and by going public risk her career and imprisonment under the War Measures Act? Or, should she report the truth?

Other novels have been written about the Halifax Explosion but The Woman Reporter and the Halifax Explosion is far and away the best.

"Dupuis’ historical fiction demonstrates his passion to educate readers about both history and injustice.
-Joy Crysdale, Educator, Award Winning Journalist, Author Fearless Female Journalists
"It’s a principle of journalism that we speak truth to power. The heroine of this book, a fictional but very believable reporter, does just that. This is gripping history.
