An Eye-Opening Investigative True Crime Book: Walking the Cutline When Companies Kill
Walking the Cutline When Companies Kill is an investigative true crime about what really happens in the Canadian legal system when companies kill workers. Having real-world impact, the memoir is a heartfelt account of a young widow, Sheila Wanite Bautz, as she embarks on a quest for justice after the tragic loss of her husband, Dean. As an integral part of Aedipus Ink’s Evidentiary Series, this paperback dives deep into the heart-wrenching realities of workplace safety laws in Canada and the struggles faced by bereaved families seeking the truth.
The Quest for Truth Against All Odds
Sheila’s narrative begins with a profound quote from Albert Einstein that keeps her focused and determined to find the truth about her late-husband’s workplace fatality: “Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” This philosophy drives her to confront the murky waters of corporate negligence head-on. As she explores the circumstances surrounding Dean’s death while seismic drilling in Alberta, she finds herself amidst a myriad of lies, political injustice, and profit-driven motives.
Uncovering the Smoking Gun Document
The poignant journey takes Sheila through a grueling four-year investigation where her tenacity shines. She diligently pieces together evidence despite facing opposition and the all-too-common advice to give up. Her determination leads to the discovery of what she calls the ‘smoking gun document’, a critical piece of evidence that reveals the truth behind corporate accountability—and the shocking reality of how laws and proper protocols can be selectively ignored by those who represent them, hindering justice.


Walking the Cutline When Companies Kill is a compelling read not only because of its captivating storytelling but also due to the real-world implications it provides for workplace safety advocates. This book is a call to arms for all who believe that justice should prevail, regardless of the powerful interests at stake.
